    Frank, I was going to borrow a tiller arm off an 1957 Big Twin
    to try out the 1955 RDE-17…… if it fits.
    I was thinking all the OMC twist grip motors of the "universal magneto" period,
    had a friction block in the tiller arm, and a wave washer under the magneto, if they
    weren’t hooked up to remote controls. Sounds like I’m wrong.
    Thanks!

    quote FrankR:

    I don’t think the RD-17 tiller motor used a wave washer. Instead, it had a tapered friction plug in the tiller twist grip.
