[C320-list] Emergency Tiller!!?!-Description

[Robert E. Sloat]

Brian-Mine came with the new boat.  It was in a cloth sleeve which I believe 
was red and is about 3 feet long.  The tiller is a tube connected to a 
fitting that slides over the exposed part of the rudder post which is under 
the round inspection port at the floor near the helm.  You really cannot 
operate the tiller unless you take off the wheel.  If you hear something 
rattling around in a compartment when sailing that may be it.

The PBO may have stuck it in the port locker in the cockpit and it may be at 
the bottom of the pile which is probably the easiest place to put it.  You 
could mount it somewhere in that locker so it is easily accesable without 
bouncing around.

Don't forget tiller left boat right - just kidding.  Wheels are so nice.
