Centreboard out on the trailer....?

Post by philw »

Hi all,

Has anyone ever tried to remove the centreboard when the boat is on the trailer?

I've looked at the drawing and read a couple of the posts about changing the ropes, but I would like to check the surfaces and general condition of the whole foil.

Thanks, Phil

Support the boat on props (?) and pull out the trailer. These are good since you can lift the boat higher with them and get all of the cb out and also easier to get the trailer back in place again. http://www.seaquip.se/sortiment/mb-stottor/mb2/

Actually, there is only one bolt holding the centerboard - and that bolt is reached when the centerboard is folded. On my old DF800 a insect key (6 sides) was needed to unscrew the bolt. And then release the line and the board will possible to unhook. It is heavy!

You have to measure the distance between road and hull, the board is quite wide. Do not have the actual size - but I think it is about 50 cm. (Does anyone know?)

I think it will be a good idea to find a pit. A pit used for car maintenance. That will give you the space you need.
