Tiller pilot repairs

On the way to Peterhead the post on the tiller the pilot sits on came off. It had been welded on. I tried to make a temporary mount for it from scrap but it failed on first test. I bought some M5 machine screws and after filing some flash out of the hole I got one to fit and tightened the nut over a washer to spread the load. We will test it on the way towards Lossiemouth tomorrow.
