Re: M_Boats: New old M-17

Fellow Montgomerians, I found a mysterious gob of material wedged in the centerboard hole where the rope goes to raise the board. After much effort I dug it out and realized that it was the remains of the old, broken rope knot. Happily, I found a nice, shiny stainless shackle almost sticking up through the hole. So, before I go to the effort to take the centerboard out, I will tie a line to the shackle and see if I can raise and lower the centerboard. My question to you Montgomerians is: What size and type of line should I use? Thanks, Lucky Bill
