Re: Centerboard pennant fairlead tube repair
Yes a nipple would be required. It is a compromise. Connections below the water line. You could run a pipe from the reducer up to the winch and skip the smaller hose. Then we could discuss the best

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
Jeremy, Do you have a West Marine near by where you live? Most larger West stores have that tool set-up on a workbench that you can use for free. I just made a bridle for my whisker pole and swaged 8

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
I like the idea of filling the hole and redrilling, but I believe I would try to mix in some chopped fiberglass to the epoxy along with fumed silica. They sell it but for that little volume you could

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
But wait! There is more! It seems that the nico-press fitting that Tartan sent me is too skinny for my needs -- it is small enough to slip through the hole at the top of the centerboard. There is an

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
What a great thread of emails on center board stuff this is. Our T27 #196 has been on the hard for many a year waiting for her time to sail again. Life got in the way and now just some time and $. My

I'm working on something similar. I have a 1" diameter UHMW-PE rod arriving in the mail today. - jeremy

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
Thanks, I'm thinking of coming up with some sort of guide to insert in the tube something like this

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
On mine, the ID of the pennant tube is approximately 0.834" or 21.18mm. That is actually the OD of a tube I filed down so that it just barely fit inside the existing tube. - jeremy

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
I guess I was lucky? Or did they mistakenly not swage your cable? You might give them a call, or take it to a rigger who might charge $20 or so.... Marty ? sent by carrier pigeon ?

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
They sent me the cable and the stainless steel nicro-press crimp -- but they did not install the crimp onto the cable. If they had sent the cable pre-crimped that would have helped a lot!

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
Hello! I did this a couple years ago. Tartan sent me a cable with a loop swaged onto one end. Is that what you have? The cable goes through the small hole on the aft edge of the board and loops back

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
Ahoy! It sounds like I should be fine using the 1/8" cable that Tartan sent me. A previous owner had installed 3/16" on my boat, but it is not clear that is really advantageous. It sounds like, in the

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
Hello, Mine is 1/8" wire on the centerboard. I wind up replacing mine every 4 years, since by then it develops "meat hooks". I had to replace the winch, and went with the smallest diameter I could

Re: What size wire rope do you use for the centerboard pennant?
The limiting factor for centerboard cable is the diameter of the drum onto which the wire rope is spooled at the top. This is also why you should absolutely only use the recommended 7 x 19 stainless
