Hi folks,

I drilled a hole in my tiller tonight for a tiller extension. What material should I seal it with? I am rushed, don't have time to search, sorry if it already on the site already...

Thanks.

I really don't think its necessary, I doubt the screw holes were sealed where the tiller mounts to the rudder either. I didn't seal mine with anything just drilled the hole and mounted it. I do cover the tiller when not in use.

I suppose if you really wanted too, you could use a little bit of Thompson Water Seal.

The first time I installed the port for the tiller extension it worked its way out with all of the pulling and torquing (word?). The second time I installed it, I epoxied it into the tiller as well as screwing it in. I think that will make it less likely to become dislodged, and also - as a side benefit - will likely seal the site of the installation.
