[Rhodes22-list] Swing keel stuck.

[jpd9668]

Although I did not have CB problems,  the trunk was leaking and I had to replace CB gasket. I did this while on the trailer. CB is accessable once cap and gasket are removed. I remember seeing a post on replacing the CB pivot pin. Removing the CB can certainly be done but I'll bet it's a pain in the ass. TIP: When raising CB, haul to top and back off about 1-2 inches before cleating it off.Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

Okay, mine was on the trailer. Long story short: I took the centerboard cap/lid/hood off to gain more direct access. However, you cannot do this on the water, since -- as I understand it -- the top of the centerboard trunk is below the waterline.--John CarlsonS/V Lillipelli (2004/2012)Lake Waco, Texas> On Jun 8, 2022, at 10:18 PM, Melvyn Rothbard <melrothbard at yahoo.com> wrote:> > Looks familiar to me.
