Rob,
It's actually a clutch. Two bolts threaded into the wood, one with a wing  
nut and a piece of UHMWPE between them. Tightening the wing nut on one side  
applies pressure to the line. It's just enough to hold the rudder in place until  
you come in contact with something hard......then the line slips through the  
plastic.

Rummy,
That's interesting, the tiller actually is forward of  vertical?  Don't
think I can do that with my setup.  What type of  cleat is that holding
the line? - rob

Not a picture on the trailer, but I think this will show him what  he
needs  
to know.

I  suspect your centerboard is not all the way  down/forward(that
heaviness  is
the clue), the rhodess22 is  entirely neutral, it not fully pulled down
or it
not getting into the  right spot, does anyone have a side picture(on  a
trailer maybe) so he  can compare the  angles?
