When I came out of the marina onto the river in 13 mph winds yesterday, I was SO ready for a quick sail, unfortunately, my centerboard wouldn't go down..I tried everything..goin in reverse against the slight current..everything short of jumpin in an pullin it down, which I did do as soon as I got her back into the marina dock. It came down quite easily, and I noticed how light the centerboard is underwater. Almost like it doesn't weigh a thing.Has anyone experienced similar problems? If so, what are some possible solutions. I hate to just leave the board down thus eliminating the use of the motor much over "idle" speed, but I also would hate to have to get wet everytime I want to drop the centerboard. I'm thinking of adding a little weight to the centerboard when I have her out at the end of the season. It seems so light, I can hardly fathom that it would stay down when sailing at hull speed. I don't really want to pull her out of the water to work on the swing keel just now. Another idea that occurred to me was smearing some of that waterproof grease along the keel...don't know how much that would help..it might encourage underwater growth and make the keel even harder to deploy. Until I hear from any of you that have experienced similar problems, I intend to just haul up the keel to the "almost" up position, Is it unsafe to motor fast with it in the "almost" up position?? I appreciate any input, Thanks, Foggy
