The centerboard trunk (in the cockpit) of my Mariner has two holes in the top of it - one (the more forward one) has the centerboard cable going down through it but the rear one (which is perfectly round and about 3/4" or so in diameter) is open. What is that one for ? The one with the cable running down through it seems to be not round and has some cuts,etc. in it from the cable. The reason for the questions is related to leaks that I have in the cabin-when rain goes into these two holes I end up with water seeping into the bottom of the cabin floor and I need to find a way to stop them.

Mariner centerboard leaks

I can tell you that I just recently took out my centerboard on my 1972 Mariner to scrape, and paint it. While I had it out I replaced the two rubber washers that are visible cabin side of the trunk and the two larger washers that are not visible water side of the trunk, no leaks. As far as the cuts, I have them also no problem.Hope I have been some help. Bob
