I would like to know how the internal mechanism of the centerboard works. It is raised and lower via a lever on the side of the CB housing.
I bumped into the shore on a windy day and am not sure if it was damaged. It seems to raise and lower but does not raise all the way up into the CB housing. Is there a diagram somewhere showing the internal workings of the CB? Thanks so much.

the DS 1 doesn't have a mechanism - the pivot on the lever handle just goes into a square cutout in the board. It's possible you have something jammed in the slot, or you fractured the leading edge of the board so it doesn't fit any more
