Joe,

I have the same cleat and when i needed info I went to the mfg. website - 
pretty detailed diagrams.   If you do a search for clamcleat CL257 it will 
take you right to the page.  I had a further question on proper tensioning, 
sent an e-mail, and got a very prompt response.  I find the cleat works very 
well in operation but is a little awkward to release when lifting the rudder 
at the end of a sail and when pulling it down at the outset. I believe this 
is because of the location of the GB installation, which, on my boat is the 
leading edge of the rudder.  I have seen diagrams which put it on tiller 
which seems more accessible.  Good luck
