Product Description

The Tiller Lock Gun in sleek grey offers top-tier control and reliability for your yacht or sports boat. Engineered to meet the demands of modern marine vessels, this tiller lock ensures precise steering and enhances safety, especially in short-handed sailing scenarios.

Enhanced Design for Modern Vessels

Maintaining the rugged reliability of traditional tiller locks, the Tiller Lock Gun has been updated with a contemporary design suitable for any tiller-steered yacht or sports boat. Its innovative features cater to the increased sensitivity and faster response required by newer boat designs, ensuring your vessel remains balanced and responsive.

Key Features

  • Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit any tiller-steered yacht or sports boat, making it a versatile choice for various marine vessels.
  • Simple Adjustment Mechanism: Easily set and adjust the tiller, facilitating effortless handling during short-handed sailing.
  • Integrated Snubber: Unlike traditional lashing methods, the snubber design maintains a more stable course, enhancing overall control.
  • Quick Release: Turn the lever to port to immediately free the tiller, allowing the rope to glide smoothly over the sheave for manual steering.
  • Emergency Detachment: In case of emergencies or when not needed, simply pull the rope downward to snap it out of the block, swiftly clearing the tiller.

Why Choose Tiller Lock Gun?

A variety of tiller locking methods have been used historically, many of which fall short under the demands of modern boating. The Tiller Lock Gun addresses common shortcomings by:

  1. Providing precise locking with minimal effort.
  2. Ensuring quick and straightforward operation for both locking and releasing.
  3. Allowing instant detachment from the tiller during emergencies.

These improvements are crucial for boats with short keels and dagger rudders that are often transom-hung, where maintaining course integrity is essential without the support of a skeg or shelf.

Installation and Usage

The Tiller Lock Gun is straightforward to install beneath the tiller, incorporating a sheave and lever cam with a toothed slider mounted in a block. The accompanying rope is routed across the cockpit's rear to maintain tension. Once locked, the toothed slider effectively prevents any movement of the tiller, providing a secure and stable steering solution.

Whether you're adjusting your course manually or locking the tiller for steady sailing, this device offers the flexibility and reliability needed for an optimal boating experience.
