bio was before purchase... have Hunter 240Your bio indicates a 26m. Are you talking about the Hunter 26/260 or a MacGregor 26M? If the MacGregor 26M, I use to be s MacGregor dealer and I thought it was a dagger board that was raised up and down by hand that was designed for water inside that dagger board.
As mentioned photos are needed and which boat you are referring to which will help to advise on repair
