[Rhodes22-list] Attention group advice requested " centerboard issues"

[Rik Sanberg]

All you should have to do to replace your centerboard is remove the 
centerboard truck cap. In other words, the flat top cap that is bolted on 
top of the center board truck. The centerboard should be able to drop right 
in there once you have the cap off. What's outside the trunk, below the 
top, shouldn't affect this.

Now, if you have something leaking down there, or your trunk is 
cracked/broken that might be a whole 'nother story.

Where is your leak??
