[Rhodes22-list] Searching the archives and settled step >now mast step cb leak

[Lowe, Rob]

It seems like there are various versions of CB and the lift systems.  Here are some photos that someone (I forgot who, sorry!) posted of their CB taken apart. - rob

Thanks Graham
It might have been cracked when they loaded it onto a trailer to launch last spring and delivered it to me.
It was a transport trailer.
Sam replied that the pendant had to be cleated when trailered, or it would cause a crack.
I'd like to understand the mechanics of that reply.
Is the top or aft edge of the CB that close to the cap, and what component would allow it to move vertically, a hinge pin?
Is there a CB diagram anywhere?
I think it was leaking, but very little until later in the season then
- after a storm, it got much worse.
The boat may have been on the bottom or bounced on the bottom at a very low tide.
I'll take it apart when it warms up.
Pendant - Braided nylon is very stretchy - is that what we want?
