Gordon,

I have been reading with considerable interest your recent posts regarding
your centerboard. The board on my MarkII, #1157, is pretty rusty and I would
like to remove it and have it cleaned up and galvanized. What is the best
way to get it out of the boat? Can you do it on the trailer? Or does the
board have to be in the "down" position?

Thanks for your help,

Steve Eustace
