Hi Charlie, Thanks for the quick reply and the info although we might not be talking apples and apples here.
The previous owner said it's *easier* to change before it fails rather than describing the dire situation you encountered. A diver in our club has done it many times here on C&C's of various lengths, probably older models. He also described having to use the winches to run a line under the keel once to raise it when it failed, so he could get back in the slip and didn't mention a concern for damage. Maybe just lucky. I think if it let loose and that 800 pound steel blade fell through it's full arc to the stop I would have a real concern for damage to the trunk. Hopefully someone has some info. It seems the centerboard versions weren't well documented. -- Tim Rutherford tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com 813 748 4888 cel/text On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 10:34 PM, Charlie Nelson via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I have a 1995 36XL with a centerboard so YMMV.
