Dave's reference to a CB discussion brings up an important consideration. Namely, you have to get it right for the boat you have. Starting with M17's with older style CB vs. newer glass boards, and even M15's. Some of these are so different, the only think they have in common is the term CB and overall shape. What applies to one does not apply to another. It can be confusing. My assumption was Doug has the older cast iron CB on an M17? A link to see how this works is found here: http://www.msog.org/models/m17/m-17-cb.cfm The MSOG site has a wealth of information and is still one of the best resources out there for our M-Boats.

the stop pin on the cast iron centerboards is about 1" up from the bottom of the keel and 4"-5" from the aft end of the keel.

Hi folks,
Tomorrow is "replace my frayed CB pendent "day. I will lift the stern of my M-17 from some beams in my friends barn. I looked today for any indication for the 3/8" stopper pin where the CB's hook comes to rest. Is there a measurement from the pivot bolt ? I will keep searching tomorrow. Also it needs to be driven out from port to Starboard ? or visa versa ?
Thanks,
