[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard Pendant Update - Another Attempt to Post

About 4 feet is good. Sometimes you may be further back in the cockpit. I don't think there's a spec.Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

This includes about 7 feet of travel, and another 4 feet that is always above the cleat. The last 2 feet are always out of sight.I am pleased (and relieved) to report that after a couple of days in the water, the bilge is completely dry. That is, no leaks as a result disassembling and reassembling the centerboard trunk. I used the same (original?) gasket on the cap of the trunk.I'm curious: how much of the pendant is always above the cleat on a factory Rhodes? That is, with the centerboard fully down, what is the approximate length of the pendant from the cleat to the handle on the end? I thought 4' was appropriate, but I should have asked the List before putting knife to rope.Chris on LBIOn 10/31/2022 11:43 AM, Michael D.
