[PUP] Emergency tillers

Has anyone ever had to use an emergency tiller? If so, were you able to 
do so successfully? This question applies especially to those of us with 
a single main engine and a large rudder. In my case, an Nordy 46. If one 
was using a wing engine and had to enter a large rudder angle to counter 
the wing's offset thrust, with a stubby tiller arm on a big rudder, 
well, I doubt even Arnold could hold that very long. So, rigging 
suggestions would also be interesting. Especially if anyone has ever had 
to do this in earnest. I'd be as interested in the things that didn't 
work as in the things that did.
