Thanks for the response. 

 

Oddly the holes in the bar are like 1/32 of an inch too small so we’ll need to fins someone with an industrial drill press to enlarge the hole if we want to use this one, But I’d feel better using the bar over the single point lift.

I installed the bar a long time ago.  It took a little fitting to make it work. I had to buy the U-bolt and have a friend with a car repair shop drill the holes - it was easy for him.  It's a great set up.  Distributes the boat's weight across 2 keel bolts and moves the center of gravity forward a little.

Sounds great - thanks.

Where are you? I'll figure out the best way to ship and let you know the cost, then we'll figure out the logistics.  

I'm in Los Angeles.

Hello Askold - 

I swapped mine out for a curved one years ago.  I may have the old one in storage.  Let me look for it, and if you pay the shipping, you can have it for free.  Pics to follow tomorrow.

Yes, I'd love to have it.  It looks fine.  Some sand paper and varnish is all it needs.

How can I pay for the shipping?

Thanks

I have an older J22 with the straight tiller.  Sadly it has suffered a catastrophic failure.

Is a replacement available (not the new, curved one).

Or does anyone have the dimensions?  I can have one made.

I remember that the tiller was rather slender and tapered and straight.

Thanks
