I recently purchased a 1973 DS and I'm working on repairing the centerboard lowering line. It has detached from the centerboard. The previous owner had it repaired however where the line was attached to is missing a square piece near the pivot location on the board.
Questions:
1. Is that the typical location where the line is installed
2. If it is, is there a location where I can purchase the missing piece
3. If it is not, is there a repair recommendation on on how to address the issue
I appreciate any guidance you can provide to this first time DS owner. I can't wait to get it on the water.
