Hey, Connie.
Wow, thanks for the warning! I have no stopper knot
but I am putting one in tomorrow before I take the
boat out for its maiden "paddle." This sounds serious,
what is the result of not doing it? I hear a lot of
discussion on the group about center board problems,
what should I look for? I have the boat in a slip, is
my CB going to rust away and disintegrate?! Will it
soon be locked away in the trunk forever?! Will it
drop out the bottom never to be seen again?! I need
all the info you can spare, Connie! Help!
-Rusty
PS: I don't even know what my CB is MADE of!
