Oh, one other question for Warbird. The previous owner replaced the tiller joints when they broke w/ radiator hose (!!!) held on with hose clamps. Quite clever and works better than you'd imagine, but he didn't make a hole for the rope for raising the rudders, and consequently the ropes where pulled out of the tiller from the rudder end. The "down" spring is still installed and working in each tiller, but my question is whether I'll be able to rethread the "up" rope through the spring assembly with the spring still installed? Or do I need to disassemble? Any tips here? Thanks!
