I managed to convince the yard to move the blocks that were preventing me from dropping my c/b without charging me a reblocking fee. The screws came out easier than I thought they would. Someone had used silicone to "seal" them. The leading edge of the c/b cracked off a long time ago. Rusted steel plate is showing through.
- Boat has been sitting on the hard for the past couple of years. Is that enough time for the centerboard to dry out? Leading edge was the lowest point
- Would you use filler and then cloth or just straight cloth for this repair? It's a 3/8-1/2" SQ/IN area that's about 20 inches long
- What would you seal the screws with? It needs to seal but still be serviceable in the future. A stuck screw could become a timely project
