M_Boats: Re: New to email list, looking for a replacement centerboard

Hi all, Robert here, M15 owner Melbourne Beach Fla, as I read all these and the great joint effort to restore the lost centerboard, I'm now worried about losing mine in the salt water down here?!? Is there any preventive work, look for, ideas, signs, safety now, work I can do to prevent what our M15 friend is dealing with. My centerboard is working fine it appears, rope and all, but, ahead of time, anything preventive, pls share. Thank you all!!! Roberts Melb Bch M15 .....
