You might try putting her in the water first.
Sometimes the water will lubricate the board and loosen up
those nesting mud dobbers.

Bob, I have tried that but it appears frozen after four years of disuse by
the previous owner. I think will have to lift the boat off the trailer
entirely and work on it (safely) in that condition. -----L M-15 hull #

You should be able to pull the centerboard line and ' bump' the board up a
bit while on the trailer. Bump it up and down about 1/4 inch.

Brian, On my M-15 I have not yet tested to see if the centerboard
drops. I just got this M-15 a few weeks ago and needs some minor but
time consuming work before I launch. My question is, should I be
concerned about visible rust coming through the gelcoat at the
centerboard pin? Is this replaceable or should I not worry about it?
This Monty has been in a good deal of salt water in the San Diego area by
the previous owner.
Thanks for any information on this. Larry, hull # 189, Sacramento.

I replaced mine while anchored. It took a few dives, with nothing more
than a face mask, but wasn't too difficult. It would have been even
easier if I had realized early on that the end of the rope needed to be
decored in order to get it to fit in the hole in the centerboard.

How does one inspect and change the painter on the M15's centerboard?
Can this be done on the trailer, or does it require use of a travel
lift.
Thanks for any insights
