Wing Tip came with an emergency tiller. It's very utilitarian, basically just a 
steel tube with steel handle that attaches into the top of the rudder post 
through a cockpit floor access port. 

Unless your boat was a tiller to rudder conversion, where a PO could have 
skipped a step, Catalina Yachts - Parts Dept. (not Catalina Direct) should be 
able to help you.

Emergency tillers are very utilitarian compared to the investment cast bronze 
and chromed replacement full time tiller head. If I had to replace mine I'd 
expect closer to $50 not $600.

  Hi All

  What do all you folks who have wheels do for an emergency tiller? The price 
for a tiller head is about $600.00!  Any sugestions much appreciated.

  Thanks
