Lou:

I don't have pictures of the diamond board removed, hope to never have to do
that, however enclosed are some photos I took while my boat was out of the
water last year.  I was also curious about the dimensional differences
between the older and newer style boards and prepared some sketches that are
also enclosed.  I beleive the diamond board is raised and lowered by a line
from the cockpit that is a straight shot down to the board, no pullys or
angles.
