Recently purchased a 1971 Mariner. It's in pretty good shape and on a trailer in my back yard. The centerboard appears pretty rusty - particularly by the pivot end. How do I: 1) know when to leave wellenough alone. 2) remove it for inspection? 3) know whether to knock off the rust and paint it or take more drastic measures? Thanks, Dale

Your answers to the centerboard issue is at the Mariner Class Assosiation web page, Boat Tips... http://www.usmariner.org/tips.htm My '71 Mariner's board is pitted badly, but sails on. Note that the Mariner is a different from the Oday 19. Carolina Blew #2123
