The board is swollen from internal rust, as the two half shells are split somewhat with a visible gap. There was a little mud in there but not enough to fill the clearance that was supposed to be present. Tyler '81 M15 #157 "Defiant" On Jun 16, 2014, at 5:14 PM, Thomas Buzzi wrote:
I would stay with the original surfaces on everything as per the boat was manufactured. If there is a large gap around the cb and it looks like a factory configuration filling it would not be a good idea. How was the board stuck? Was it just an accumulation of dirt and debris? They say sleeping with your fingers crossed is also a good way to avoid opening up the cb trunk.;-} I am facing the same situation with mine, a 78 model. So far though all is well. Good luck, Tom B.
