I am resonably sure that the line controlling centerboard are going thru the wrong holes in the trunk. I've added an inspection port in the cuddy a bit foreward and to the right of the trunk. I can't see or feel the bolt at all. All I see is a wedge/triangular fiberglass bump on both sides of the trunk. There are two steel plates on the bottom of the boat with philips head bolts all the way into the bilge. There is some cracks and dents damage around those plates which I can fix (I hope).
Also while I was feeling around in the bilge aroud the trunk, I pulled out a water logged piece of plywood 7"x1.5"x.5". It was wedged in the front part of the trunk in that gap between flare of the trunk and the underside of the cockpit/deck. Any thoughts
