When reinstalling move the board up to line up the holes and butter up the pin beforehand with 5200. Wipe any excess off with a squeegee. Flush. Let us know what you find Ron. Bob Sent from my iPad

Dave and Bob, thanks for your responses.The boat has only sat on the water over night about 2 times. :( Question.To drop and install the Keel is it simple as knocking out the pin and hammer it back in? Thanks, Ron

Yes as stated a lead ballasted boat shouldn't have swelling in keel nor centerboard.
Things like twigs, pebbles and the errant nut or bolt are the usual cause.
Another possibility is the knot for the centerboard pennant is to large and rubbing/squeezing in the trunk.
Is the boat kept on-water or is she usually on the trailer?

I have not posted in a while and was not sure how to, so i replied all to a rececent thread. I hope it works. I have a 2013 M17 and have been having trouble with my keel getting stuck and not dropping down. It's in the shop now. They made sure there was not debris causing the issue. It seems to be making contact with the trunk behind the pin. Can anyone suggest a fix for this? Thanks,Ron McNeilPhoenix AZJackpot M17 #675
