Hey guys -
Not an A4 question but this forum is so smart and responsive, I thought I'd try my question here.
I have a Tartan 27, which has a centerboard. I've had a hard time learning about how the centerboard pendant (the wire cable that you use to raise and lower the centerboard) passes through the hull, and what sort of maintenance and inspection it needs.
On my boat the pendant passes through a PVC pipe which terminates in a bit of rubber tubing which is hose-clamped to the PVC and the hull. As I've left my boat in the water this winter, I'm hesitant to just pull this tubing off and see what happens!
I'm attaching some photos of the area to give you a better idea what I'm talking about.
If you want to compliment me on the new paint job on my A4, I'm happy to receive those messages as well.
