I haven't looked closely at a P15 rudder, but if it's similar to a P19, the
"tiller handle" might have been shipped separately from the rudder. If so,
and the tiller was attached to the rudder upside down - which on my P19
could be done without too much difficulty - then the line that is intended
to secure the kick-up rudder in the down position would be slack and would
not serve its intended purpose. The relative orientation of the pintles
and gudgeons wouldn't be affected by an upside down tiller, provided the
rudder (and the boat) is right side up.
