Hello all.
So this is my first, of what I am sure will be many questions!
Started the new project today, just filling and fairing. But decided to make a list of things required.
Ininspected the keel, and am somewhat stumped by the centreboard lifting cable. I can see a cut out on top of the centreboard encasing where I would assume the lifting cable goes. But there is no housing attached to the casing, just a hole ( which would obviously let a lot of water in)
Am I correct in assuming that there is some type of cable housing which attaches to the top of the centreboard encasing? Is it just glassed onto the casing? And what sort of material would be best suited? Was thinking maybe copper piping?
Thanks for any advice
Ron

Hi Ron,
I hope these photos help.
My 563 has a tube glassed into the top of the keel case. A section of stainless tube extends from the glassed in section and makes it's way up behind internal paneling (as seen in white paint) to an exit on the starboard aft cabin/cockpit molding.

I have seen shorter pennants on other boats - to the height of the bottom of the companionway. Some water could come in but not much - the lift was very straight and free of friction (unlike the original set up). A jammer cleat was used to hold the pennant up. I'm sure others will have POV.
