I'm curious about how "vertical" the fully extended centerboard of a DSII should be. On my DSII (1972) with the "centerboard "uphaul" line all the way into the front of of the CB trunk (so that the CB is down as much as possible) the board is angled back a bit. I see that the DS I's in the club all have full down extension (the board is vertical at full-down position). Does anyone know if this is the way that the DSII is supposed to be? I have a 2-part up haul that is preventing full extension, it MAY have been shortened along the way, but I don't know for sure. Have a look at the photo - this in the CB fully retracted - it looks like the pendant from the CB could have been shortened? The swage fitting meets the CB trunk hole and prevents the CB from dropping further.
Anyone have experience with this or know the answer?
IF I get a minute I'll hoist the boat at the lift and take a picture - but don't wait on that!!!! haha
