Title: tiller extension joint
Post by: Ratface on June 29, 2009, 04:20:24 PM

having gone through some rubber UJ joints on my tiller's ive gone and got some hydraulic housing for free as i'm aware that this is what most(if not all) of the boats with t-foils use,

how do i go about when it comes to attaching it onto the extensions/tiller?

also while im at it, where can i source some cheap progrip?

www.algeos.com for progrip. About a tenth the price of RS!

Most people without twisties use ordinary UJs I think. If you want to use h hose, fair enough. I suppose the method is a peg on each side of the tiller, put the tube over that, jubilee clip, and the other endsof the tubes are attached to the extensions by a simialr peg which goes up the inside of both though.

On ours we drill a whole through and use a machine screw and nut. You will need the correct drill bits for drilling stainless.
