Hi Tony, I have an IdaSailor Tiller/Rudder. When I got it I had to shorten the tiller to clear main sheet. So now it is 45" long. I mounted a TillerTrimmer 15" from aft end. This makes the circumference 11" at that point so that the cover clears it without having to take it off. Hope this helps.

Anybody out there know the length of a M17 tiller handle...I am in AZ this week and my boat is in TN so I can't measure it myself...trying to order a cover this week. Thanks M17 Blubird E. Tony Reed
