Tom, I followed the directions (say it ain't so, Joe). On the transom edge where the hull and deck flange is located I put a small pad eye about 12-15' away from the rudder on the port side and a camcleat the same distance on the starboard side. I don't know the exact measurements of where I drilled the holes in the tiller but I can get them for you.

Chad, Pictures would indeed be very helpful. Chances are if I took a guess, I would end up drilling more than one set of holes in the laminated tiller. Thanks much.

Hi Tom,
I have a tiller tamer on my M17 and used the stern side cleats for it and it has worked really well. I can snap a couple of pictures this weekend if you would like to see how I have it set up.

Kind folks,
I have a Tiller-Tamer sitting around that I thought might work for my 17 with an IdaSailor rudder. I don't want to mount new cleats, so I would like to use the side stern cleats for the T-T line. The geometry does not meet the specs in the mounting instructions (it would have to be too far forward to make a right angle), but I am wondering if one of you has mounted one further back with success. If so, how far is the T-T sheave center from the pivot point on the rudder?
Thanks, Tom Jenkins M17 hull #686 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
