I just bought a Ronstan Battlestick telescoping tiller extension and it didn't come with any hardware or instructions for installation. Is it supposed to come with the hardware? DO I use screws to go into the tiller or nuts and bolts? What size, diameter?
Thanks

It did come with the plastic saddle but no screws or bolts for attachment. I like the idea of bolting it through and recessing the heads from underneath.
I noticed that you bought a telescoping extension. So I retract my comments that it might be used on a Laser, etc. No one on one of those boats will be using a telescopic extension. You might want to consider swapping it for a non-telescoping version. That length adjustement really is not needed on a Sunfish. You may find that it adjusts itself just when you least want it to. BB
In that case, it looks like you only need two screws that fit the indentations in the saddle to fasten it to the tiller. The saddle should see no strong forces; therefore, through bolting isn't necessary (in my opinion).
A bit off-track, but I have been wondering about telescopic extensions; what are the Pros and Cons? On 'big-time hiking' days, a (2") longer extension would be good for me. But on less windy days, my stock one (32") works fine and makes tacking a bit easier. So I thought that a telescoping one would be a nice compromise. Never bought one though.
However, BB writes that the telescoping version has a (potential?) problem.
Other comments?
