Bill, thanks for the suggestion; and yes, we listened for that, and other
things, like the Head door banging, but it is clearly coming from the
centerboard trunk; I can even see the saloon table vibrate when it hits!

Are you sure it is coming from the CB and not the stern? We get some pretty
hard THUNKING sometimes when there is a following wind, even in the slip if the
little wave hits just right under the stern.

Joe, thanks; this is a new development, we haven't had this "thump" noise
before... we did run a line but weren't able to get a result we were sure of: I
wasn't able to do a dive on the keel, but plan to do that as soon as I can;
thanks!

Do you suspect the centerboard is actually down?
Even in murky water, it seems like a 20 second dive would give you the answer,
unless the murk is caused by something nasty you don’t want to swim in. You
could always run a line from one side of the boat to the other and walk aft and
see if you can tell if the board is hanging down.
Assuming it goes up and down as usual, the thunk would be side to side movement
that the cable cannot change. Some boats just do this, I have heard of people
swimming down and stuffing a sponge or two in the slot to get a quite night’s
sleep.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Re: Centerboard cable diagnostics or replacement
Hi all; I have a 1985 C&C 37 with a centerboard; with the boat tied at the dock
(we are at a fixed dock on a river) we notice a thunk sound that seems to be
centerboard moving side-to-side when there was wave action; however, the
centerboard cable remains tight and in its usual position (the centerboard is
normally on the "up" position, with the cable connected to a rope line which
is on a cabin top winch. The line was replaced with new line last winter and is
in good condition). We were not able to see the bottom of the keel because the
river water is too murky.
Does anyone have any suggestions or information about replacing the centerboard
cable; can this be done in the water with a diver? Any other ideas welcome,
thank you.
