[Rhodes22-list] Slim's Tiller

[Steve Alm]

Thanks a lot Ed.

Most of the rot is on the aft, sides of the tiller where it goes between the
housing and is not really seen.  If it doesn't look perfect, it won't really
matter.  But a new one would save me a bunch of labor and I'm all for that.
I should at least ask Stan what the cost is.  Stan, are you there?
