AZURA's e-tiller has a similar set up as Dennis....I have practiced it...just in case...I have a wrench tapped to the e-tiller but I also have it set so that when I drop it on the sole connection behind the binnacle, it will be drop on and be tight/firm....if I want it more secure for any reason, e.g. big seas, I have the small wrench there .....using an e-tiller doesn't need me to go looking for a wrench....especially if I am alone.

Touche's e-tiller has a bolt to tighten once you put it on the end of the rudder.

    Um, no.

    Dry fit it years ago when I first bought the boat.  Been stored on
    clips in the starboard lazarette with an appropriately sized
    wrench strapped to it ever since.

        Rudder talk got me wondering – does anyone ever sail with
        their tiller?

        The 35 MK I is one of the very few wheel steered boats where
        the emergency tiller is actually a viable way to steer the
        boat. I used to use it to steer from under the dodger in the
        rain until I got an autopilot. It is a bit awkward, it should
        be about 1 foot longer and hinged, but beats the heck out of
        most I have seen.
