Thus I am more familiar with my cb than I’d like!! 1. If the sound is ‘new’ and it does this with the board up, something has changed so that the board can swing a little athwartship—puzzling to be sure—since there is likely little room for this given a pretty tight fit between the cb trunk walls and the board sides. Plus, the board pivots on a pin about 4 inches in diameter so again hard to see how it can ‘swing’ even a little? 2. If there is enough visibility in the river, I think the cable could be replaced in the water with a diver after it’s lowered fully (cable stop disabled so the board hangs further forward than in the normal down position). Finding a diver willing to do this is another matter! 3. Given the consequences of a failed cable, pivot pin, etc. I recommend that you get a diver to at least have a good look while you are on board to move the board up and down. If your cable fails in the board up position, the weighted board will fall, hitting the forward part of the trunk with such force that it likely will shear the board off the pin as the board continues forward and down to the bottom. Definitely not a fun day on the water—no need to ask how I know!! Good luck!

The line was replaced with new line last winter and is in good condition). We were not able to see the bottom of the keel because the river water is too murky. Does anyone have any suggestions or information about replacing the centerboard cable; can this be done in the water with a diver? Any other ideas welcome, thank you.
