Jury-rigged connector. The knots on the tiller bar and riser are redundant as the connection is between the two.

Connector end. The small silver thing is a cotter pin around which the current bungie is threaded. The original rubber is held by the cotter pin and pressure because it is to tolerance.

Old connector as it looked originally (as you can see, the tiller bar is supposed to hang below the arms).

View from stern. Note the difference in height of the tiller arms. The higher, port side arm is at the correct angle. The starboard side arm has lapsed. There is no one, obvious, causitive issue I can find. A large washer would effectively correct the hei

Showing difference between port and starboard tiller arm angles. Note starboard is significantly lower than port. This does not seem to affect handling. Is it a problem?

Tiller arm base. The port side tiller arm has a similar tilt but, obviously, not as great. My thinking was to put a large washer under it to even them out.
