Reeving The Centreboard Pendant

As in the last post, I reinstalled the centreboard pendant between painting things and waiting for them to dry.

I made a small loop in the end of a length of garden wire and threaded it into the centreboard case and through the pendant sheave. I taped the pendant to the end of the wire.

Then I made a small hook in the end of a piece of stiff wire and used it to  hook up the loop and pull the garden wire and the pendant through the sheave and out the bottom of the case.

Like this.

Here are the hook and eye.

Then I pushed the pendant through a piece of padding and knotted to it prevent it falling into case.

Now it's ready for the centreboard!
