[Rhodes22-list] Lesson to be learned

[Richard Beytagh]

Normally it does, but when i pulled it out the second time I could not
raise it and in my hurry to get it out (it was filling up fast) I floated
it onto the trailer with the board down hopping the roller would push it
up. Unfortunately it slipped down between the a cross member and the axle
so when the boat came our it sat on the CB which pushed up inside the CB
casing. I hope the casing cover is the only damage and the pivot and
housing is unharmed. BTW its the old shape CB
