Self-steering: Helm Impeders - The top end duo. "Tiller Clutch" and "Tiller Tamer"

 The commercially available helm impeders are the "Tiller clutch" and "Davis Tiller Tamer". 

They look very neat with minimal clutter and are fast/easy to fit. There are no lines, shock-cords and multiple fittings. They do cost a fair bit more than the DIY type impeders, they need to be ordered in online in regional areas. eg none in stores up here.   

I'd bet many owners swear by them, as they are easy to operate, effective and look good. They are available online if you can't find one in a marine chandlers. The links below are close to the source of manufacture and are priced in USD (so can compare with prices in far flung corners of the world like Australia)
