This spring I changed the uphaul rope on my keel. Since I put it in the water the keel will only drop about 2/3 of the way down.
any ideas why this is? Thx.

Dave, are you trying to hog all the fun for yourself? That's just crazy.

No but probably know exactly what happened which is why I responded the way I did but making sure. Heck I helped design that boat.
Yeah on a cold wet day along wth the frog Kermit. Had too many laughs that day. Just waiting till you come back home or do I need to Shanghai you back
Have sent a private message but no response. I know the system and showed rgranger and Kermit along with many others.
Hi Crazy Dave. I replaced the rope with the size stated in the manual. I made sure the knot fit exactly in the hole. However, there was some previous damage to the area where the knot goes and I had to repair with some fiberglass. I am thinking this may be my problem. The keel drops down about 3/4 of the way. Perhaps my glass work was too much?
@Willemvan
I need to know a response that @splax posted and whether you have any photos of the repair. Also did you route the pins back into the correct holes holding them in place with duck tape? The first question, was the board all the way down when the centerboard line was routed up thru the compression post out to the deck organizer.? When the board was let down, did you hear a clunking sound? It is imperative the board is down with the line run thru the deck organizer. The first turning block should be attached to that line where it exits the deck organizer. Please advise.. If not, is there additional line which you can let that line out. we need to talk. Send a private message with telephone number and I will call.
