Hi Charles,
I agree with you. However I have a related question...
On our C&C 37/40+, our centerboard is HEAVY! I'm talking enough that I not
only have to use the cabintop winch to get it up, but even in the slow speed
when I am feeling particularly wimpy. I have also heard of another 37/40+
cable breaking, resulting in the centerboard slamming down and damaging the
trunk.
What weight is yours/ and is this a concern for others with a centerboard
beyond the 37/40+?
I have not had my boat out of the water yet for a bottom job (I bought it a
couple years ago), but I'm certainly thinking I should replace it when I do.
How often do you folks replace your cable?
If you've had it fail, do you get any warning (other than the recent post about
fraying)?
Thanks!

FWIW, I like amsteel where I can see it. I spliced my lifelines in amsteel.
And I replaced a SS cable in my vang with dyneema. I use soft schackles. But I
think I'd prefer a centerboard pendant to be SS where it can stand up to unseen
abrasion & barnacles and will last 20 + years. Am I overthinking this?

Hi Rod,
My setup is a little different, but may be more easily serviced.
I've done this a couple of times last year and had to follow up to get the
dimensions exactly right. We did it in the water - diver worked below. We sent
down a light gauge messenger line and used it to pull in the new pendant. Easy.
Mine is made with dyneema with an eye splice at each end. Lower shackle is 5/16
and upper is smaller (3/16" I think). Can't remember the price but it was under
$100. Maybe $70. Lasts a coupe of years.

Rod, the arrangement on my boat is a thimble to a shackle at the
centerboard. You will have to cut the wire the remove it as the thimble will
not fit through the tube. My pendant has an aircraft fork on deck. The only
thimble is at the board.
I hope this helps,
Mike

I have to replace the wire pendant on my 1981 36-1. There are some broken
wires where the cable wraps around the thimble at the deck end. Does anyone
have any detailed specs or drawings? I work at an industrial rigging shop so I
can have a new one made. I also want to know what to expect when I lift the
boat this month so I have the right tools to take off the old one.
