Thanks again Jim Sadler -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sion.com]On Behalf Of Doug Kelch Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 1:41 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: M-15 Center Board Jim, Howard is right - Bob Eeg is your source. The M15 CB is a very tight fit and if the stopper knot was too large it would cause the board to jamb. I had a bunk board on my trailer getting soft and this would cause to board to wedge in the housing very tightly. I have had to swim under the boat and wiggle it free on occasion. I have subsequently drilled a hole in line with the CB pendant to allow a wooden dowel to be used to push the board down from the top. This works well most of the time.
