Jeff,
I have a tillermaster and find that I don't have enough throw for sailing. It steers better than I do when under power. I have had some success when reaching under my crusing spinnaker. The weather helm on Vallhalla does overwhelm the Tillermaster port tacks as it is mounted to starboard, and can't pull the tiller as far as needed.
The trade off is power vs throw. As you move the mounting point aft along the tiller, more is accomplished with less throw but requires more power. I am still playing with where I need to mount it. I made a bracket that slips over the coaming and has an old oarlock mount at the bottom. This allows me to clamp the attachment pin to the tiller and still mount the Tillermaster at a right angle to the tiller.
PS. I mounted a Schaefer traveler on Valhalla and it was the best thing I have done. I made a template and Schaefer bent the traverler rail to match the camber just forward of the lazerette hatch.
