Maybe someone out there can help me with this question. Upon removing my centerboard from my overturned DSI, I noticed how much slop there was between the board and the centerboard well sides. My board measures almost one inch thick, yet the opening is 1 and 9/16" wide. I realize that it tapers in towards the top, but when the board is in it's down position there appears to be entirely too much gap/play in the board which I assume will result in less performance. Is a new centerboard this thin at the head? Is my well too wide? What is the best remedy? My handle (square part) goes through the board with about 3/32" projecting past the other side of board before turning into the rounded peg protion that rests in the opposite side of the well.
I appreciate all the help
