[Rhodes22-list] Center Board Lift Line

[Graham Stewart]

Rob:

Mine was glassed over but there was still a distinct cap with a flange that
allowed the cap to be  riveted to a similar flange on the centreboard
housing. (I replaced the rivets with bolts.) From the picture it looks like
yours does not have a flange. 

It might be possible to cut off the top and then make a flange on the
housing and build a new cap but that would be a tricky job and might not
accomplish much depending on how the centreboard is attached and whether the
other dimensions of the centreboard trunk are the same as later models. I
can't tell for sure, but it looks to me as though the forward part of your
housing slopes down at the front. With later models the cap steps down but
remains horizontal so that the cap flange is flat and goes the whole length
of the housing. 

I have attached a picture of my cap, which is conveniently in my basement,
so you can see the shape. 

If you need dimensions, the cap is 53.5" long and 5.5" wide. The raised part
is 2" wide and 25.5" long at the top and 30" long at the base. 

To remove the centreboard from inside the boat I think you would need to be
able to remove the entire cap rather than just the raised part.

Rob,

>From the picture, I will guess your boat was built before 1975? If so, you
do not have a centerboard cap and gasket. The board comes out from below.

Thanks for all of the pics guys.... I feel ready to tackle this now.

I think my keel caps have been glassed over (very poorly) because I have
what looks like a solid keel trunk with a few holes in them from where the
dagger board was pushed up too high. I think I can return that to it's
original state with a skill saw and some fiberglass.
