TILLER ARM ORDERING GUIDE - Tiller Arms must be positively secured on the rudderpost in addition to the tight clamping tolerance. This can be done by: 1) Securing the Tiller Arm to a solid rudderpost stock by cutting a keyway in the rudderpost and in the Tiller Arm. 2) Through-pinning the Tiller Arm to a hollow rudderpost. Edson will provide a predrilled Tiller Arm cap and a 3/8"/1.3 cm stainless pin. 3) Securing with set screws by drilling and tapping into the quadrant cap and the rudderpost (be it solid or hollow). Please specify the method of securing when ordering. NOTE When Ordering Tiller Arm Specify: · Rudderpost diameter specified to 3 decimal places (2.376"). Specify method used to secure Tiller Arm to rudderpost. See Tech Tip for details. For additional information request Engineering Bulletin EB-373-97.
