I recently bought a Hunter 240, and now I need to get it hauled, pressure washed and loaded on my trailer. The boat is about an hour and a half from where I live, so I am trying to understand all of the procedures, before going up there and loading it. The boat is in a slip and I do not know if the centerboard is up or down. I need to make sure it is down for the haul and pressure wash, but I then need to raise it for trailering. I'm sure it is probably easy to do, I just cannot find info about it. I have a 15' Mutineer, where I pull the outhaul one direction to lower and the opposite direction to raise, but it does not appear as though the Hunter 240 works like this. Question1: I know there is a centerboard up-haul for raising the centerboard, but where is the down-haul? I do not see one in the owner's manual and do not understand what keeps the centerboard lowered. If someone could explain the process for raising and lowering the centerboard, I would appreciate it. Question2: Also is there anything specific I should do during the pressure wash to ensure that the centerboard swivels properly. Thanks, -k -
