I am the proud owner of an Aquarius 23. I belioeve that Balboa is the successor to the Aquarius Sailboat line so I am posting a question here in the hope that one of you can help me.
I have owned my Aquarius for over 20 years and she has served me very well. But for the last several years I ahve had an ominous clanking sound from the center board/swing keel. I suspect that the bearing, bushing or Pivot Pin (or all 3) need some attention.
Does anyone have any knowledge in this area; what is the level of effort needed to repair/replace? Where can I find the necessary replacement parts? Is there a Chandlery or repair facility in the Sacramento, Cailfornia area that could handle this work?
