I read where several of you had converted to the J 24 tiller for your M 15's. What is the length of the tiller? Also, any suggestions for tiller tamers? Thanks, Jesse M 15 Carolyn J
Hello Jesse You might try Bungee chord for a tiller tamer. I've used this method on my boat. Different chord diameters effect the stiffness. I have a M17 flushdeck so attachment is no problem on the perforated toerail. As for the M15 I'm not familiar with the cockpit area so I can't offer any help there.

Jesse, My standard M15 tiller is 33 1/2 inches long and the J24 tiller I have installed is 48 inches. The J24 tiller is curved and rises 4 inches higher than the standard tiller. The extra 14 inches in length and 4 inches in height does make for a very comfortable sailing position for a single hander. I am not sure I would care for the extra 14 inches with a crew on board.
