Anyone ever have this problem?

[Blue Stream]

Mounting up my 15 midsection to the SeaStar and the pivot bracket is 2 inches short.

Is there a bracket for this?

Thx

What's up with that tiller arm ? Looks like someone hacked all the meat off:eek:

[DOC W]

looks like someone changed the tiller arm from an older mid with out the extra set back

Tiller arm is the same all the way around. Just look bad in picture because of the paint.

Look at a real off shore tiller then look at that picture . They have the corners cut off and super thin where the dead mans bolt goes ..

i think your gonna need Seastar # HC5342 or earlier model??

Factory 15" mids have an extra 2" of set back built in not sure if the tiller arm is extended.

Yes compared to a new one this one is not as beefy. I was saying it is all the same around but looks factory, just don't know from how long ago.

Anyone have a 280SS Tiller for sale?:D

[Coupe427]

Is yours a factory can or cut down to 15"? As Dave stated the factory 15" mid has 2" extra setback built into the bracket . I would have to measure one but would think the tiller would have to be 2" longer to accommodate it.

Can was cut by Powell, the clamp is from a 280 I think.
