CENTERBOARD ASSEMBLY
On keel/centerboard models, those parts of the centerboard assembly subject
to wear should be checked once a year. The stainless steel wire of the
centerboard pennant is subject to chafe at the points at which it passes through
the cockpit floor and the hull. The upper portion of the pennant may be
checked by examining the wire on the winch, whilst the centerboard is in the up
position. The lower portion can only be checked by lifting the boat in slings and
lowering the centerboard. Look for broken wire strands and if a strand is broken,
replace the centerboard pennant immediately.
The centerboard pin is also subject to wear, but should not need replacement
for some years. The position of the pin is shown in Figure 21.
To remove it, locate the hole by removing any anti-fouling paint. You will find
that the hole an one side of the keel is smaller (1/4" dia.) than that on the other
(3/8" dia.) The pin may be driven out by hammering a suitable sized punch in the
small hole.
With the approval of the Tanzer 22 Class Association, the design of the
centreboard in the keel centreboard model was modified with hull no. 291. This
resulted in a change in the position and diameter of the centreboard pin. This is
now located 33S" further aft of the position shown in Figure 21. The centreboard
pin is 1" in diameter and is retained by wooden dowels on both sides. When
these dowels are re moved the pin may be driven out with c suitable punch.
WINCHES
Regular lubrication of all winches is essential for trouble-free operation. The roller
bearings of Barlow winches should be cleaned and re-greased with a light
grease every three months. Do not use an excessive quantity of grease since this
will tend to clog the ratchet mechanism.
Grease, however, should not be used on Gibb winches. These should be
lubricated every three months at least with a light oil.
