[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard thumping

[jpd9668]

You have to remove the settee and the support that straddles the the keel trunk. If you look at my sub-floor, you'll see that there's a center section that that will come out without removing the entire floor which is a pain  The settee is not as much of a problem as it looks.Joe DempseyS/V RespiteDeltaville, VASent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone
