[Rhodes22-list] All tied up

An easier solution is to put a tiller extension on the motor tiller.  Since
you only need to use the motor to help steer in the marina around tight
spots or when the wind is up, an extension lets you keep the pivot nut
tighter for 99% of motor use.  Plus, in heavy seas, I don't like the idea of
the rudder tiller being the sole point of failure when the motor can be
essential.
