Fixing What We Rushed: Machining Composite Tiller Arms

The last ever job we did on the hardstand that we couldn't complete. Today we are revisiting the tiller arm setup and taking them to a trusted engineer shop to do a critical modification. It'll either improve their performance immensely or destroy them completely. We run through the work with Watson Marine Engineering, cutting a keyway into the internal bore of the tiller arms. That SHOULD be enough work for one episode...but we don’t have any time to waste because we are trying to get out of the marina ASAP, so it’s on to the next job! Commissioning our diesel tanks: we had some pickup plates fabricated so it's time to mount them too!
