My emergency tiller is a silver colored metal tube about 2 feet long - about 1 1/2 inch diameter and has an angled flat part on one end - about 45 degrees off. The angled part is about 5/8 inch thick, has a square cut into it and a slot on one side where a bolt goes through which tightens that part around the square end of the rudder post which sticks out under your feet while you are standing at the wheel.
In my view it is of limited usefulness. First it is so short and at a funny angle. The only thing I could see it use for is to hold the rudder steady in one place, there is not enough swing room to do any worthwhile steering. It should be obvious when compared to all the other 'boat stuff' you have.

I am trying to identify the emergency tiller among the many items that came with the boat. Could someone post a picture of the appropriate emergency tiller for a C&C 30 of that vintage (1976)? Instructions for use would be nice as well; I have not found discussion of this topic on the archives or in manuals. Just planning... Thanks!
