Water spurts out the pendant hole on my boat, when slogging to windward. Does anyone else have this problem? Sometimes water shoots across the cabin, making quite a mess. I've tried plugging the hole, to some success. Has anyone made a slot gasket for the board at the bottom of the keel? Maybe some vinyl strips to keep the water from surging up the slot? Any thoughts are appreciated. Monty17 Ol'44 On Thu, Aug 24, 2023, 12:38 PM < montgomery_boats-request@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

Good morning sailers,
Does anyone have a source for a centerboard pennant for my Montgomery 17 # 325. West Marine seems to want $145 for one….
Thanks, Doug Vogel

Doug:
Something else, IMO, going on of replacing that often. Where is line wearing?
The line on my old M17 is 15 or so years old. Was looking fine when dropped board in early '19 so only old knot cut off and new bowline tied.
Challenge with a grommet is greater chance of jamming in and damage to the trunk.

For the cast iron board boats all it is is a 5/16" double braid line. The centerboard end remove about 6-8" of the core tie a small bowline to the board.
For the M15-centerboard boats the line is also 5/16", still remove the core but instead tie a 8-knot after running the line to the centerboard.

Hi Dave, Right at the trunk hole. I think my sailing partner may have left it slack . At the buoy, the centerboard does move and make some noise. I usually try to lift the centerboard up 1 inch and winch it off to keep wear and tear off the pin. Thanks for your advice . As usual … Doug

$145 for a piece of $6 line seems excessive. West marine must be joking.
