Hi sorry don,t have any good photos but will take some next time I am at the boat, bar was behind rudders from new and is not heavy to steer at all, as leverage is provided by the tiller length, it would be too hard to steer with the crossbar though as it has no leverage.

If you mean the connecting bar between the tillers, then mine is ss pipe about 1inch, doesn't,t need to be super strong as it's taking push pull loads, mine is mounted close behind the tillers which keeps the rear deck clear, it has a threaded adjustment so you can keep the rudders parallel to each other ,I made nylon bushs for ss bolts to make the connection to the rudders, and the bushs can be replaced when worn.

<p>I think this is a good way to go. Mine, a t section in hardwood is quite heavy. You could always plug the ends with with hardwood and when it gets worn just fill with epoxy and graphite.

<p>I don't know if it is any help or if you could scale up, but I use a 1x1 inch by 3/16 inch wall aluminum square tube section for my tiller bar on my Tiki 21 and it is plenty strong enough. My tiller dowels are oak dowells, and there has barely been any chafe from the aluminum. However, I'm probably going to switch to some metal dowells in the future. </p>
