My c'board pivots on a stainless bracket which is
screwed to the cockpit floor. A few inches below the floor is a pivot pin but I
can't see it.
The top of the c'bd sticks up past the floor a inch
or so and has a rope attached that runs foward thru a block then back a few feet
to a cam cleat..........This locks the board in
the up position
The c'bd. top also has a long bungee cord (5 0r 6
feet long) attached to the top of it with a stainless hook on the loose
end.
This is hooked into a bracket at the back of the
boat to hold it in the down position....
You might try contacting
Catalina, as the original mfgs.they may still stock the parts you 'r missing, or
direct you to a dealer who does.

Hi
Wayne,
I've tried to find other Omega 14 owners on the internet . . .
not much luck, so it's nice to find another owner who's willing to
communicate. My boat is from '82 I believe. We bought it from an old fellow
who moved into an assisted living facility. He hadn't sailed it for quite a
few years and the part to hold the centerboard in place is missing. I've
jerry-rigged something with a dowl and a rope around the mast to keep the
centerboard in place, but it is less then ideal. I was wondering if you
could give me the measurements of that part and perhaps a picture of what it
looks like. We love the little boat, we can fit all 5 of us (2 adults, 3
children) and had a lot of fun with it already (bought it in Sept.
this year). We still have a Banshee (~12ft, cat-rigged), which is not nearly
as roomy, dry or forgiving for family sailing.
Looking forward to
your reply. Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan
Glad to hear you have a Omega, I have
one also, great little boat mines a '78, also have a Sunfish of
indeterminate age, and a '76 M17.
Sometimes if i'm going to a place where I
know there is little wind (most state parks for example) I'll take the
Omega, it does well in light winds.
Regards
Wayne

We have one of those gas cans described below. It is
wonderful! Never, ever spilled gas anymore! The only downside is that it
doesn't work on cars, only on lawnmowers or other similar gas
tanks.

Hi. We're new to the list ... own a 1974 Montgomery 17 that
has been restored and has some improvements. I noted the item
about filling tanks on small motors: Briggs and Stratton makes
[or made] a one gallon can with a patented fill tube that shut off
automatically when the receiving tank was full. No muss .. no
fuss .. no bother. I think they are still available at good
lawnmower shops etc.
