[Public-List] Edson Tiller head

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Yes, it would be best if Edson had a chance to redeem themselves.  They’re certainly should be capable of quality…

    It seems a weakness of these tiller heads is the tendency of the ears to 
    bend inwards. I highly suggest putting a bushing in there when you first 
    install it. I wish I had, as the helm started loosening up within a 
    month or so.
    
    Still, from your description, Stephen, it sounds like you got a really 
    bum one that should have been rejected. I think they should at least 
    replace it with one that's built right. Have you tried calling Edson?
