How to Post: Changing the centerboard lift line in an H23.5, H26, & H260

[rgranger]

Hello all

I've seen a few posts recently about the lift line for the centerboards on these water ballast hunters. Last spring I changed mine out and I was fortunate enough to have the aid of @Crazy Dave Condon 's expertise and @Kermit 's good nature. I finally got around to writing up the process in a step-by-step how-to guide (with photos). It is attached as a PDF file. I hope this is helpful to some of you.

Fair winds,
Rob

Thanks man, our up-haul lines look like dog toys at this point. I'm weighing my options...
