Thanks for the info. Sounds like you did a jam-up job and she should give many years of trouble free service. Especially like the UHMWP bearing idea. I'll let you know if the 7-footer will work, and I appreciate the offer.

The original fitting used on deck is no longer available from any source that I could find. I used a 3/16” aircraft eye with a 3/8” pin as a replacement a marine eye would work just as well. You cannot feed the wire through the tube going to the centerboard if it has an eye pre-made. Once attached at the top and the correct length marked with a sharpie, I fed the wire through the tube and made up the eye once it was out of the bottom and then cut off the excess. You can either micro press it or use SS rope clamps. The pendant is made from 8” of 3/16” 7X7 SS wire. Any rigger should be able to make this. If you replace the bow shackle that attaches the wire to the board make sure you use a shackle made of good stainless such as Wichard. A cheap shackle will corrode within a few years, I’m speaking from experience. I have a spare wire made up but it is only 7’ in length. If after you remove yours you find this would be long enough I would be happy to send it to you for the cost of shipping. When I had my centerboard off I took it home and suspended it from the forks on my tractor. I sandblasted, treated the metal with OSPHO(SIC), and encapsulated it in epoxy, and then faired it. I over drilled the hole for the pin and inserted a piece of UHMWP as a bearing It works much better now.

Not sure the value of the build file though, if there isn't any dimensional data. I have reached out to Rob at South Shore and so some more info may be forthcoming.

I had a look and the pendant part # was 074616 but there are no dimensions or drawings other than winch location. Maybe call Southshore Yachts, they should know where to find it. Or Mars keels as a plan B. If you need the parts list for the centreboard keel, I have it in the old build file. Ours was in fresh water and never replaced.
