I just love my tillers. Stainless steel, bolted to the top of s/s rudder
shafts and conected (with appropriate ackerman) to each other with
aluminum cross tube. They are perfectly positioned for proper sailing.
When I don't want to use the tillers I can use the autopilot remote.
Mine is wired but wireless units are now available, meaning one can
steer from anywhere. If I really wanted a wheel (why?) I would attach it
to a wireless remote to control the autopilot ram attached to one of the
tillers.

The advantages are; Place the wheel anywhere you like, add another if you wish, run the pipeing anywhere, no pulley's, or adjustment, or play and most of all, no crossbar. I believe, that if you take the ball out of the none return valve, you get feeling as well, but I have not tried it and prefer it to stay as set.
