I don't know of an alternative to the jam cleat, but I'm sure there are variations 
that will work.  The only v-cleat I'm familiar with is a fixture I call a clam cleat.  
I can't picture how one mounted on top of the tiller would engage the line, but I'm 
probably just short of imagination after a three day weekend.  I'm pretty sold on the 
jam cleat on the underside of the tiller myself.  It's practically foolproof.  t

Subject: M_Boats: Bungee cord tiller tammer

Tom that seems like a pretty neat system.  I'll try some bungees today.  Has anyone 
tried an alternative to the jam cleat. Would a wood carved V-cleat attached to the top 
of the tiller work? You drop the line into the cleat and the spring of the bungee 
pulls it into the V.
