I hope to be soon installing the centerboard. I bought a partially assembled Pocketship and it seems to be a full up kit- I have only missed a few minor pieces so far. I was looking for the centerboard pivot -I assume it’s a just a piece of 3/8” SS rod.I did find a 3/8” by 2” bolt with an acorn nut, but he chides using a bolt and nut, so I doubt that is it. Any guidance on what I’m looking for?
Also is the pendant for the centerboard supplied? I see some likely rope that might be used for it in the kit but I don’t want to cut something up to later discover it’s for something else. What color/diameter/type rope am I looking for?
