[Rhodes22-list] centerboard repair - cap sealant? reply to Saroj

[Saroj Gilbert]

Thanks, MaryLou (or Fred)... I read that when I was going thru the 
archives...

I'm not going to change how mine is threaded... we redid just as it was when 
we took it apart.  I think it is 3:1

I'm going to post a picture of it.
