   Mary Lou,

         Mary Lou my 1974 R22 doesn't have the removable cap on the c/b
   trunk, but does have a stopper type plug in a 3/4" hole.  I guess the
   hole is for inspecting one of  the blocks for the c/b line.    I'll
   attach a pic.

          I do have an additional centerboard question for the list. What
   is used to make the final turn in the line before it goes up into the
   tube? All I have left are two little rusty nubs on the inner walls of
   the trunk.

   Todd
