Took SMEDLEY on our road trip to see our buddy Capn Scott, he was able to fabricate a new tiller rest for the port side rudder. He cut out the aluminum piece on his CNC machine and used a TIG welder to attach it.
Check the lights for a dawn launch.

Shaping the tiller rest.
The new piece holds up the tiller so it doesn't drag the deck.
Rudders and tillers are ready.
The tillers have telescoping extensions, had no idea until Capn Scott pointed them out.
