Re: Centerboard

[Richard Vogel <bird@xxxxxxx>]

Carey,
  I am pondering a replacement, but I have had to deal with a "stuck" board more than once.  I removed the table over the hollow pedestal, and used a piece of steel rebar, bent to about a 30 degree angle in the middle (to get it past the ceiling) and with a flashlight to place it on top of the centerboard, I popped it with a heavy sledge, and down it went...have someone hold the line if you don't want it to drop too violently...and don't cut the metal cable (yes, like I did)...hope this helps...
