[Rhodes22-list] Swing keel help

[Ric Stott]

I just did it on my '84 - which might be different but not sure.
Its not hard, but takes some time.
You can do it while the boat is on the trailer.
Remove the port bench seat
Remove the floor boards,
Unscrew the Center Board (CB) cap - mine has 36 screws.
Remove cap to expose the line and turning blocks.
Remove and clean the rubber gasket then clean the trunk top and cap  
bottom I used M.E.K. or Acetone on the FG, but water and a brush on  
the rubber.
Remove the CB - its heavy, but I did it myself with a line tied to the  
blocks.
The inside of trunk and CB is  probably a mess and needs to be  
cleaned, scraped and painted with bottom paint.
Inspect and or replace the hose (stops) that prevent the CB from  
rising in the channels at the pivot.
Replace line with 1/4 inch no stretch line
Attached are 2 'before' and 3  'after' photos
