<p>Hi everyone, my Tiki 26 has a cracked, rotten tiller. I've reinforced it temporarily, to get me home (see photos). </p>

<p>I don't have the original plans. I'm open to ideas on the best way forward. If you think rebuilding a completely-new tiller is the best route, does anyone have the relevant drawing that they could scan for me?</p>

<p>What type of wood is recommended?</p>
<p>Alternatively, but not as good, maybe just tape and glass would be strong enough? </p>

<p>I'm removing the deck paint on my Tiki 21. The boat is in great shape. However, I've found one small area with some rot.</p>

<p>Should I cut a section away and add new wood, or clean out the soft wood and fill with epoxy filler?</p>
