Chad, I also have a tiller tamer on my M17 set up the same way, using the stern cleats. The cleating setup works fine, but recently I have had an occasional problem with the line slipping out of the side under load. It's only a year or so old, so hope it's not wearing out already. Have you had any problems like this? Thanks, Rick M-17 #633 Lynne L On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 3:37 PM, Chad Parrish <cparrish@fafnirnet.net>wrote:
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?
