An OEM 5 inch tiller bracket is built to handle the specific arc of a Raymarine drive arm without wearing down prematurely. Getting the right part means you do not have to drill new holes in your tiller or force the alignment of the steering pin. These brackets withstand the daily motion of the pilot pushing back against the rudder, preventing that annoying clicking sound when the boat rolls. It is a simple part, but having a solid connection to the rudder makes the whole setup feel reliable again.
- Confirm your tiller thickness.
- Tighten the hex nuts securely.
- Grease the pivot point lightly.
