[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard lifting mechanism

[Dennis McNeely]

Great pictures Rob. A couple of other comments - if you need to replace 
the pendant, make sure it's thin enough to run through the blocks 
easily. A quarter inch line is stronger than the stock line, for 
example, but you'll play hob trying to get the centerboard to drop. 
Sadly, spoken from experience. Also, my centerboard had a piece of hose 
over the centerboard pivot, bent into an upside down U - I presume to 
prevent rattling of the board (?).
