Re: SJ23 - Replace lift cable

["Richard B. Vogel" <bird@xxxxxxx>]

I replaced mine out of the water, but this information may still apply.  The cable is attached through a stainless loop on the centerboard, and is then crimped.  It had to be cut to remove and then replaced.  Hope this helps...Dick

Subject: SJ23 - Replace lift cable

 

This question is directed to those people who have replaced their

centreboard lift cable while the boat is floating. It is just about time

to replace mine and I have to consider my options. I have always thought

that the cable stayed inside the centreboard trunk while the board is

down, but I'm not sure. Hence the following questions.

 

Q1 - Is it possible (by diving under the boat) to access the small clip

that attaches to the centreboard while the boat is floating? -

Q2 - If the clip is below the hull (outside the trunk), how far from the

hull is it? -

Q3 - Which tools did you use while underwater? -
