[Rhodes22-list] Tiller Clutch

[Weiss, Robert L]

I just attached my line to the 2 cleats on the back of the boat. I put a bowline in one end so it slips easily over the cleat, run the line through the tiller clutch, and then do a simple figure 8 on the other cleat. Works great.

Peter does sell small V-cleats that work well with the tiller clutch-I had them on my last boat.  You attach them with screws into the coaming, but be very careful to match the hole size exactly to the screw size to avoid crushing the fiberglass .  There is very little stress on these.  The Tiller Clutch comes with precise instructions for how these cleats should be positioned relative to the tiller clutch position on the tiller for optimum control.

I currently have my tiller clutch lines attached to the rear pulpit.  It’s not ideal but it works.
