The rudders and casting should be the same, but the tiller arm is shorter if I remember correctly.

Correct!!

Rudder, lower casting and upper casting are all the same. Yes the tiller arms are shorter, different bend on the 14 / 16.

Regarding the 14, that's a big rudder for a little boat. And seeing as how the 14 came first, moving that same rudder to the 16, well, it's still a good sized rudder on the 16. I can't think of a more nimble cat than the 16.
