[Rhodes22-list] Slim's Tiller

[Paul Grandholm]

Slim,

     We have a local marine parts dealer here that is huge, called Wolf's 
marine.  He buys a lot of discounted stuff in significant quantities and 
resells them to the general public at pretty good prices.  Last time I 
was in there I saw a big barrel full of tillers.  You might check around 
some of your local places up there.
