[quote=windadict][quote=Edchris177]Look closely at where the tie bar meets the tiller arm. See the bottom the "U" fitting that holds them together? That is where you want to wrap SS lockwire to prevent that fitting from turning on the bolt.If it does it will lock up your rudders.
Murrays sells a double "U", for about $55, supposedly to prevent this problem. They can still lock up, just use 50 cents worth of wire, & save the $55 for beer, or a new FX stik.

Ed, Can you elaborate on this?
I got my 1991 Nacra 5.0 late last year and I haven't got on the water yet and would like to learn from others and prevent possible disaster. The U bracket on your picture is mounted horizontally, on mine sits on the top of the tiller bar. My understanding is that when you turn the rudders, that U bracket has to rotate with the cross bar. Where or when is the possible binding?. Should the wire be wrapped over bracket and tiller or cross bar?[/quote]
