If you have a tube in tube that slides smoothly and has a fairly long
travel you can drop it in place and then hand steer for a bit. When
things look right clamp the tube and then if you need to tweak it
twist the turnbuckle.

We are on the same page here, Bruce.
That's exactly what I was thinking.

Another option, easier to make, but more hassle to set would be to
drill the tube-in-tube with a bunch of pin holes - pick one close to
the right place and twist away.

But I really like the clamp idea best for the basic set.
It would be, by far, the easiest to operate and quickest to set.

Now if I can just convince Gunner that this rig needs the vernier
adjustment to make it really precise and easy to operate???

Gunner! Put that troll down an come get in the damned boat!!!
