Very nice.....looks bulletproof. The zerk fittings make regular lubrication easy and convenient. Now the fun part...installation.

Excellent. You have waited a long time to get that back.

Does this mean you have to give up your tiller?

Re: "Leoma" worm gear
It's easy to install and I can make some improvements. It came with about 6 or 8 washers on each side of the aft bearing to lift it in line. I've been advised to make a block from oak and get someone to help by turning the wheel back and forth while I make the adjustments. Can't wait to get rid of the tiller. I guess I have to stow it maybe in the bilge. It's really big and heavy duty.Jim Walsh wrote:Very nice.....looks bulletproof. The zerk fittings make regular lubrication easy and convenient.
