Ok, Tod. But I still can't visualize how the T connects to the tiller. If you bolt to the top of the main tiller, the extension will be pointing skyward! The shaft next to the "T" is what I would call stiffly flexible, but it isn't going to bend 90 to lie parallel with the existing tiller. What am I missing? Do you know of a U-joint extension, other than the Forespar?

The tiller extension was of fixed length. The "top" of the T had two holes in it and there was a stainless plate with a hole in the center for the stem of the T and two smaller holes matching the two holes in the top of the T. Two screws went through the two holes and into the tiller with the stem of the T sticking out through the bigger center hole. My personal preference is for a conventional U-joint. I just like the feel of it better. Tod _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
