Tim, On my 1976 M17 the pivot hole in the centerboard has a nylon bushing. I replaced this bushing when I reconditioned the board a couple years ago,but I started to notice more banging around down there late last summer. I'm thinking the bushing may be shot again.Larry
Thanks Larry. Great info. Makes sense. So it looks like I better go to the trouble and
see what's in there. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
