[Rhodes22-list] Lee helm

[Larry Gioia]

My 2014 has the thumb wheel as Joe described.  
   
My ‘86 has just a clam (?) cleat mounted on the side of the rudder post. The downhaul line attaches to hole in the rudder and comes up through the cleat, jamming the line, then I just wrap the excess with a few turns around the tiller.

When you lift up on the downhaul line, slide them under the shoulder of the wheel, and tighten the wheel to secure the downhaul.Joe DempseyTrojan 42m/v VoyagerFormer Rhodes 22s/v RespiteDeltaville, VA  Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

My boat came to me with no down haul.  There's a small cleat for the up haul (or whatever it's called) but I don't see a comparable cleat for the down haul.  I see the hole in the rudder where the line gets tied, after that, how does this line run?Thanks, you may now return to your regularly scheduled subject.Peter
