I have a 1997 Merc 25 hp 2 stroke that I tiller steer. I would like an 18"-24" extension tiller. What brand will properly fit the tiller grip? I tried one from Wal-mart and it just did not fit right.

If you are considering a "poured" transom core repair job, I think you will find the NIDA core product to be pretty user friendly, and I hope as time will tell, a very substantial repair.
Once my transom inner and outer skins were repaired, the easiest part was catalizing and mixing the NIDA...
