| Post subject: | Shortening pre EZ-lock tiller arms |
Hello there wave people, whilst sailing recently at a Mexican riviera resort I noticed the rudder arms were cut pretty short on the ez-lock boats and I didn’t measure the pre 2007 that was there and didn’t use it but sailing the ez-lock ones I found that it was easier to sit far back while quartering downwind @18kts so I was thinking of hacking a few inches off my pre 07’ boats tiller but it looks like cutting an remounting would change the blade angle from straight so are there any tiller arm hackers out there that have had good results?? Thanks |

You could just bend the tiller arms to get the toe-in you want. Pipe bender? |

Thanks Matt , my welder friend has one of those and I’m also looking at drilling the rivet from the casting I may gain an inch and a halve or so there and redrill for a pin at a different angle with luck I should have some play thanks again |
