Tiller Tamer

Postby Tipster1 » Fri Jun 12, 2020 12:11 pm

I've been using improvised bungee cord tiller tamers for a while. They sort of work. I decided to treat myself to the real thing thanks to a gift from afar.

Installation instructions logically recommend a 45 degree angle between line and tiller amidship and offers a few suggestions as to where to attach line. If I wanted to use stern cleats, that would bring line pretty far forward on tiller and have lines running across aft cockpit. That could be an annoyance when motoring. The company suggests various cleats here and there - see link:

Before I start drilling holes, I thought I'd ask the group.

Where have others installed control line cleats?
