[Rhodes22-list] Rudder Clutch 4

[Slim]

Rummy,

I had the clutch but I wasn't using it right.  I didn't know I had to wrap
the line around the bolt and back down, so of course it always slipped.  So
I replaced it with a little cam cleat (horn cleat?) like the one on the
other (up-haul) rudder line.  It works great, but I have to be aware of
grounding and let it go if we're in the shallows.  But I installed it with
very tiny screws so if I hit bottom, it'll break away.  And I have a spare
waiting when that day comes.  So far, three years hassle-free.
