I think I have the idea, but does anybody have a picture of a properly rigged clutch?

  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.
