My 1993 DaySailer has a square hole in the centerboard for operating the raising/lowering handle.
The handle, including the square portion, is in good condition.
I removed the handle and there is a center pin extending from the port side of the trunk that aligns with a hole in the end of the square portion of the handle.
Thus the handle is supported from both sides of the trunk.
The hole in the centerboard is rounded just enough that the centerboard hangs several inches below the boat when the handle is locked in the up position.
What methods of repair are recommended?
Do I need to cut fiberglass on the port side of the trunk to access the pin. I cannot remove the centerboard because the pin is protruding into the square hole.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
