Hi J-F. Looking at your note. My 34+ has a nice shelf in the port locker and the lever arm about3-4" below the deck level and radial drive. The glass work looks like factory. I have a couple of pics somewhere if you are interested. By the way, did you ever get that spinnaker pole working? Ciao

I saw that done online and thought that was rather clever. I've also been mulling this over for a couple years now and that's the best "easy" solution I saw. I have a similar situation where I would prefer a linear drive on my 34+ and for me there's no "Below deck" option as the radial drive sits over the cockpit floor under a cover in the pass through to the open stern swim ladder. The "correct" way involves dropping the rudder, cutting the tube below decks, slipping a tiller through, then custom glassing proper supports and shelving.. That's a pretty labor intensive project.. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
