Snow Gum - Quick Centreboard Maintenance - Garcia Exploration 45
Hello everyone. Some of our Garcia and Allures boat friends are doing maintenance on their centreboards, which made me think, ‘I’ve got some old footage of that.’ Here’s a video showing a quick job done on Snow Gum’s centreboard back in January 2021. I had raised the centreboard too high (in the dark; didn’t see the stop mark on the lifting line) and one of the anti-friction pads squeezed too tightly against the centreboard box. It was quite stubborn so Garcia decided to investigate. The pads were shaved a touch. Problem solved. Regards, Rick.
