H240 keel housing bracket pin locations

[SolentHunter]

Hi guys, I've had a new keel housing bracket made up but wondering why there are 4x holes?
surely only two or required? one for the pivot pin and other is for the sheeve.
Why have different locations?

Question is which are the correct ones to use? I have found drawings and photos which show different ways.

I have attached a photo of the new bracket and the wear suggests this was how it was fitted but the sheeve in the lower position bottoms out on the keel before it goes 90degrees also the original sheeve is too wide to locate in the upper hole, it only fits in hole #2 (counting from top).
So I'm a bit confused, maybe it didn't function correctly before?

Any advice appreciated.

thanks in advance!

Anyone with a water ballast 19 , can you advise please.
If no one responds, I will try to find out for you. The bracket was used in five different sailboats.

As mentioned by Crazy Dave the same bracket is used in multiple hunters - I believe the 240 and 260s use different pin locations.

Thanks Crazy Dave, that would make sense it was used in multiple boats. Surprised there isn't more holes if it was used in 5 different ones

great thanks for sharing that, although I can't get the full range of movement of I use that pivot pin location hole.

Makes sense it was made for 240 and 260.
just need to find the correct way around or why it doesn't work one way on mine but seems to on others. I feel like I'm missing something

The big stainless steel pins are temporarily held in place by duck tape

Which pin prevents the full range of motion? The upper pin with the sheave/roller or the lower pivot pin? I believe the upper pin with the roller prevents the centreboard from over extending. - Dave might have further insight.

You could also check that your bracket conforms to specs with the document here:

Just reread your original post. Our factory 260 the Center board does not drop to 90° from the keel.

From the manual - dashed line shows angle of Center board in full down position.
