After pulling my boat yesterday I notice a crack in the side of my centerboard. After looking closer I noticed the board is cracked all the way around the seams (leading edge, Top and Bottom). And it appears to have been like that for some time. The cracks have dirt and algae in them but the side crack is clean. Has any body heard of this before. I know some rudders have had problems, how about centerboards.

centerboard cracks

yes, mine cracked around the leading edge (H240). I let it drain/dry over the winter and glassed it while on the trailer (that was fun) before launching this summer. Since my trailer bunks were originally set to low I think it put to much pressure on the board and cracked it. Hopefully fixed the root cause as it is holding up fine, now.
