Stus-List Tiller Wobble Resolved

[Korbey Hunt via CnC-List]

I had a diver inspect my rudder.  He advised there was an extraordinary amount 
of marine life attached, including a multi arm starfish about the size of a 
garbage can lid.  I suspectcthis was the cause of my rudder wobble.  The diver 
will clean the rest of the hull tomorrow.  I hope to take a test run Sunday.

I have a 1980 34 C that has developed a profound tiller wobble while under 
power .  Has anyone else had this experience?  What is the remedy.  I plan to 
haul out in June to inspect.

My 1980 34 C has a tiller that wobbles excessively when running with engine 
at 3,000 rpm.  A cursory inspection does not show any adjustment or easy 
bearing replacement.  All bolts are tight. There is some slack, maybe 1/8" when 
testing the tiller by moving back and forth at the dock. Has anyone else 
experienced this?  Is there a known easy solution short of replacement?  Should 
I be concerned.  This seems to have gotten worse over the years.
