PowerStick Telescoping Carbon Tiller Extension 68-130"

The PowerStick Telescoping Carbon Tiller Extension is a strong, ultra lightweight, adjustable length tiller.  Ideal for use on all Hobie, Prindle and Nacra catamarans, as well as A-Cats, Corsair and Farrier Trimarans.  The Powerstick locks by twisting the grip either direction. The locking action is smooth and grips very well without needing a hard twist. It features a serviceable locking mechanism which ensures years of life and peak performance. We have these built custom for Murrays with a positive lock in either direction so that it functions more like traditional tiller extensions. 

We waited so long for a replacement tiller for the Arriba and here it is!  Enter the Powerstick!  Excellent grip, easy and smooth locking mechanism, infinite adjustability with just a twist.

The Black sticks are 100% carbon for ultra light weight performance.

Yoke vs Universal attachment systems:  Choose your attachment style

This stick comes with the yoke uninstalled so you can use it as a yoke style or tendon style. 

Yoke: The Yoke version attaches to your tiller crossbar with a yoke assembly, yoke assembly not included.  We recommend the Murrays tiller yoke assembly.

Universal: Universal tendons fit perfectly into the end of the Powerstick, tendon system not included we recommend the Ronstan Universal joint, and backing it up with some E-Tape or Rigging Tape. 

The Universal PowerStick does not include the universal tendon.  Tendons easily slip into the end and will require you to drill a hole in the tiller to install the tendon.  It is compatible with most universal tendons.  The inner diameter is just over 1/2".

To install the yoke or the tendon - Insert your chosen connection peice into the base of the Powerstick and drill a 3/16" hole into the side of the powerstick and about 1" up and 1/4" into the tendon, then insert the included screw.  You may cover with electrical tape or leave exposed.
