Ospray centerboard mechanism

[Guest]

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie here!

I'm in the process of renovating an old O'Day Ospray, and I need information about the centerboard raising/lowering mechanisn. On my boat it appears to be a simple handle/lever affair. However, when I took it out for a shake down run, the 'board wouldn't stay down as speed increased. Can anyone here provide any info (a picture would be GREAT!) on how this mechnism is supposed to work and what could possibly be going wrong with my boat? Any and all responses would be appreciated!
