Jim,
Howard is right - Bob Eeg is your source. The M15 CB is a very tight fit and if the stopper knot was too large it would cause the board to jamb.
I had a bunk board on my trailer getting soft and this would cause to board to wedge in the housing very tightly.
I have had to swim under the boat and wiggle it free on occasion. I have subsequently drilled a hole in line with the CB pendant to allow a wooden dowel to be used to push the board down from the top. This works well most of the time.
Thanks
Doug

Randy is right. Bob is your source for a new board.
As this is an M15, with the glass CB and lead keel, what happened to your existing board and where is it damaged? They are known to break if you don't have that pennant adjusted right, such that it drops too far and leverages against the trunk, snapping it. But yours was a stuck board. I don't recall that being much of an issue in the past.

I almost sold the boat. After 3 mo. of thinking about it and using ideas from the list I jury rigged a puller using all-thread and was able to pull down the center board.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
What is the hot tip for a replacement center board.
