[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard thumping

[peter beckerman]

Thanks Roger 
   I think I have a bunch of that tubing in my toolbox, so replacing it should be pretty easy.
   I've gone through the whole centerboard trunk and I don't see anything that looks like it could be fouling the action of the centerboard except the pennant passing through the small blocks.  I'm guessing that the line has simply gotten cruddy and stiff over the years and that fresh lines will free up the action.  I'm going to hedge my bet and go with 3/16 line and maybe I'll get a lawnmower "T" handle if I find the smaller line hard to handle.  If it's too annoying I can always open it up again and install bigger blocks and line.  Right now I need to get a couple of other projects done and get my boat in the lake within a few weeks.
   Do you think that there's too much room for the pivot bolt in the slot or about right?
