Old Style Sunfish Rudder Tiller Stop

 17 Aug 21:

We had a question come in from a viewer whose old style Sunfish tiller was catching on the rudder assembly wing nut. After looking at his photo, we determined that he did not have an original shaped rudder blade, which would have had a little notch that acts as a stop for the downward travel of the tiller. Here are a few photos of what the notch in question looks like, for your viewing pleasure.


If your tiller is droopy, you can add a little rubber bumper, like Capn Jack did to one of our tillers.



And now you have more mostly useless knowledge to add to your brain housing group. 

You're welcome.

Cheers,

Clark and Skipper
