Dia of the tiller arm base. Help with a lock idea
TheBeesKnees replied to TheBeesKnees's topic in General Boating
Didn't think about a grinder, but the way I was gonna get it done was to make it all closed so no screws or bolts would be sticking out. I would CNC it at work; never tried to grind 65+ HRC, apart from on surface grinders. Not sure how a cordless grinder would cope with a few inches of steel. But I see some points; it's not gonna make much difference if you tow it. And if that's the case, no point drawing it on CAD. But cheers for your input Cheers for the feedback was an idea had while at work. Wasn’t sure how much difference it would make while towing or pulling from the towpath -
Hello all I'm just wondering what’s the avg dia of the base of the tiller arm. also what would happy if someone was to try drag your boat if the tiller arm was locked left or right. im asking as I’m going to try make a lock with hardened steel around the base of the tiller arm to lock it in position. also any in point we will great if you think this wouldn’t make it harder to drag or anything. I know they wouldn’t cut the lock off been hardened steel if you have every tried to cut it or drill it with a standard drill you will know.

Hello all, We are new to the boating world and have noticed many cases of stolen boats. I was wondering if it's possible to attach a kill switch button or key to prevent the engine from starting, just for added peace of mind while we work. Something like the one in the attached picture is what we have in mind, so we can discreetly place it in the engine bay.
