DSC01479 Here we see the two boards that cover the pipe. You can see part of the pendant line pipe in the pic. This is where I place my 50 quart cooler and also a small waste basket in the upper left hand corner in the pic.
DSC00729 This is what the companionway step looks like when it's in place along the sole plate covers. When I first bought my boat I had a heck of a time getting my cooler in the area behind this step. I had to remove the quarter birth cushions on the left in the picture, and slide the 48 quart cooler in, behind the step each time. Boy what a PITA that was!!! After I modified the step, it became easy to lift my 50 qt. cooler over the mounts after removing the step. Last year I omitted those two quarter birth cushions in those cubby holes under the cockpit seats. They really aren't needed and I gained more space for a second cooler and all my gear. My cabin looks less cluttered now and I have better access to my settee compartments in there.
1986 OD 222 Centerboard I made a sketch of my centerboard when I had it out. I also posted a sketch of my friend Ray's 86 O'Day 26 centerboard on this site in the download section.

DSC01478 This the sole plate cover in place.
DSC01477 As I mentioned previously, this hump is really the outer side of that small single sheave pocket way up in the keel slot. In the pic you can see the small S.S. back up plate with the two nuts that hold the U bolt assembly.
DSC01476 The pendant line pipe goes directly to the that hump with a short piece of rubber hose in between the pipe and hump flange. I'm wearing my slippers in this shot.
DSC01475 This pic shows the pipe heading toward the hump which is really the outer side of the pocket in the keel slot. You can also see the bilge pump inlet hose next to the pipe. I have two boards that enclose the pipe and inlet hose and this area is where I place a 50 qt cooler. Also, you can see the mount for my companionway step. I had made this step detachable to make it easer to get my cooler behind it. This was probably one of my most successful mods ever. A real work saver there never was until I came up with this brain child.
