I thought I was pounding out a metal bushing with my ratchet head but when part of the bushing came out it is definitely fiber of some sort. Anyone else ever see this on their center boards or know what the genesis is? Any advice on what to replace it with? I am thinking of trying to machine a metal replacement but would be fine with an easier solution. I will post some pictures for any of you that have an interest at http://picasaweb.google.com/110938325409185510143/M23?authkey=Gv1sRgCJqUgPz3 k7-WmQE# Thanks Robbin M23 (grounded), M10 Tonka _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet!
