Has anyone repaired the 7/16 rope hole, and surrounding area. My board is split at the rope opening. I have the photos to help identify my problem.

Received photos and forwarded them to my friend, Bob Walker, who will advise me and will advise the owner and this post.

Received the photos and requested deminsions. What I was concerned about was the width at the head of the centerboard varying and felt the head or wood block is rotted. Very difficult to repair and feel that it would snap even if repaired. Anyway, I sent the photos to my friend, Al Walker at Foss Foam and he is of the same opinion that it is not repairable. We both are suggesting to replace as we are concerened from a structural standpoint. That pretty much sums it up but the decision to repair or replace will be left up to the owner.
