Ever wonder how your centerboard is connected to your keel? Sailboat CB Pivot Pin Replacement

If you own a sailboat with a centerboard but have never taken interest in learning how the centerboard connects to your boat, this video is going to change your mind! To learn more about our refit projects, please subscribe to our channel. On this episode we show you how the centerboard is attached to the keel on our 1985 Pearson 34 CB sailboat. It turns out that is a good thing we decided to check it as we were working on the refit, what we found will surprise you. It should also serve as a warning to those of you looking to purchase a CB boat. Check whether the Centerboard Pivot Pin and the Centerboard Pendant have ever been serviced or replaced. If they have not and the boat is an older sailboat, that may be the first piece of maintenance you do when you pull it out of the water. At the end there is a special thank you to Ollo Clip. I am not sponsored by them, but they have been watching the videos and when I broke my clip they sent me a replacement. I have been recording all of these refit videos using my XMax Iphone with an Ollo Clip Lens. Simple and cost effective.
