I own a 1978 O'Day 25. I had a diver help replace the centerboard pendant. We had a miscommunication and I ended up with the pendant shackle stuck in the pendant tube unattached.
When I hauled out the boat I had the centerboard held up with a line and when we thought we had the boat centered on the trailer we took the line out.
Unfortunately the keel wasn't centered and the centerboard dropped a bit and now I have the boat crooked on the trailer with a bit of the centerboard dropped.
I am concerned about how best to jack up the boat. I know I need to do it, but with the centerboard slipped out and the boat off center I am just paranoid about the opportunity for disaster. Asking for advice about how best to deal with jacking the boat up - and also I am concerned about how best to let the boat back down to the trailer once the job is done. I have attached a picture that shows the centerboard that slipped during haul out.
