I think you are out of luck. I checked some long-forgotten folders with images but didn't find this one.

Note that Paul speaks of a CB that had "weights" attached to it. That's definitely not factory original. His diagram may also not be about removal just raising/lowering.

Now, if you keep searching, you'll find more recent threads that have great diagrams of the DSII CB setup, but most immediately, the photos seem to cover the removal. The first one should be all you need (if your boat has that design).

Thanks for looking, GL. The 2014 and 2015 posts I found have given me a really good sense of how to remove my centerboard and how it works.

IslandFarmer - In Roger Conrad’s DSII Maintenance PDF, I found a centerboard illustration credited to Paul. I haven’t gone over it in fine detail but personally SUNBIRD’s diagrams appear to contain the same info and may be a little easier to decipher.

Hey thanks, ArchSail. I didn't think to look beyond the first part of the manual. : )
It's a nice complement to Sunbird's pics.
