Strange, but I cant seem to find any pivot or stop pins on the keel of my Montgomery 17 (Hull #14). No knots in the pennant either or any chance of the pennant breaking. Could it be because it is a fixed keel? Whitebeard

Hey Dave,
Not your fault. I asked where it is (or might be). I think I recall something about the stop knot from cruising the archives. Didn't think about it when I asked. All is good.

sorry if i didn't notice the hull number on your boat ... the 17s older than the mid 80s have 180ish lb. cast-iron centerboards and require a stop pin.

Thanks, that sounds much easier. Would be nothing worse than looking and digging for a pin that is not there. I owe you one.

The new model M_17s don't have a stop pin. Your centerboard down limit is the Knot in the pennant.
The older boats had a cast iron board that needed a 'stop pin' aft. Fair winds Bob
