You can¡¯t put it on the large part of the reel because you will loose your mechanical advantage. ? Here are some options
1. Move engine on mounts a half inch aft.
2. See if you can rig a friction ring or block on your pendant to divert it?
3. Get rid of the board/pendant

Ok. So we spent the winter repairing the centerboard and reinstalled it a few days ago. An interesting experience to be sure. We used dyneema. The new problem is that, for whatever reason, the pennant, encased in the rubber tube, now chafes against the front of the diesel engine belt drive, to the point that even after only 5 minutes of use, the tube now has a groove in it, headed for the pennant next. It¡¯s a mystery as to why this was not an issue last year or for the 15 years since the Atomic was replaced with the diesel, but has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any ideas as to how to repair it? In particular, would like to see photos or drawings of the pennant from when it leaves the base on the floor to where it enters the reel. A simple solution might be to run the dyneema to the larger reel, which would separate it from the front of the engine, but that might lose some mechanical advantage in getting the centerboard up. Thoughts.

?Ok. So we followed all the suggestions and Warren¡¯s plan and dropped the whole thing. Only took 1/2 hour and some bruised fingers that the board fell on. The cable snapped as soon as the pressure from the pin was released. It will get repaired over the winter. Thanks for all the encouragement. Here are some photos and video for your amusement.
