Can anyone tell me where I might be able to purchase a new tiller?

West Marine offers several generic tillers of various sizes. None will fit as well as the original. An alternate is to take your original to any cabinet maker and they will handily be able to make you an exact dupkicate for a reasonable cost. If you are handy, creating one yourself isn't that difficult. The original tiller is made up of laminate; layers of wood; that are glued together,cut on a band saw and then shaped and sanded. If you are in cold country, I live in Florida, it is an easy winter project perfectly suited to keeping you occupied with dreams of sailing.
