Hello, Do you have or know where there is a picture of a 1983 Hunter 22 out of the water with the centerboard down? I would like to see it. What is the cause of needing to get a new centerboard on the Hunter 22? Thank you, Mark

Hunter 22 swing Kell
Mark: I've just finished making some repairs to my swing keel. Although the picture I'm submitting doesn't show the entire keel, you may get an idea. You may note the elongated hole where the pivot pin went. This was the reason I removed the keel and repaired it. Sorry to say I did not take an "after" picture.

Material at pivot hole
That pivot hole IS very worn. Is the centerboard solid fiberglass at the area of the Pivot hole? I am wondering if mine is geting water damaged in the fiberglass. Thank you, Mark

RELATED FIX
THE CENTERBOARD ON MY 212 NEEDED REPAIRS. IT WAS SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE, AND THE BOTTOM LOOKED LIKE IT WAS DRAGGED ON A ROCKY RIVER BOTTOM FOR A VERY LONG TIME.( GUILTY). USING WEST STSTEM WITH MICRO-BALLONS(FILLER AND ADHESIVE), AND SOME LENGTH OF FIBERGLASS, I KNOW NOW IT IS AS GOOD AS, OR BETTER THAN NEW. WHAT I'M SAYING IS, THAT DON'T DESPAIR, I BELIEVE THERE IS NOTHING THAT CANT BE REPAIRED.
