The old M-17 has been sitting in her slip, unused, for over two years. I am concerned that some marine critters have attached themselves to the inside of the trunk. If they are hard shelled they might bind the board. How much of the trunk is underwater? If it is only the first couple of inches, there might not be enough growth to matter. We will see.

Bill,
Your diver won't be able to see up into the trunk unless the tang broke
off the centerboard. It would normally be sitting on the stop bolt,
which will have the upper edge of the centerboard still in the trunk. If
the tang is broken, and the board is swinging free under the boat, then
your diver could tie a new pendant on for you and you can winch it up
before you pull her out.

It sounds like the trailer trick might just work. I will have the diver check inside the trunk to see if there are obstructions in there before I try. When I get her home, I will use Tom's sawmoose idea to do the repairs.
