Forespar's Speed Lock Universal allows 360 degree rotation. This means that the tiller extension won't pull away from you when you tack. It will just rotate. The extension is fast and easy to attach and remove from the tiller. So when you are not sailing you can easily store the extension detached from the tiller and not put a permanent bend in the universal. This is important in that when you let go of the extension it will not pull away from you. The extension has a rough (Think sandpaper) texture for easy gripping. No drilling necessary if you are replacing a standard tiller extension mount. - 7/8" Diameter Shaft X 48" Length WITH SPEED LOCK MOUNT Made Proudly in the USA Availability: Usually ships the next business day. 102217Regular price: $101.67Sale price: $85.00 Forespar Replacement Universal Availability: Usually ships the next business day. 102117$5.69 Due to the wide variety of the size and weight of our items we will charge the actual cost of shipping in a separate charge on all orders.
