I recently bought a 1984 M15. The cb trunk edges are delaminated somewhat, not allowing the cb to drop. I am going to take the cb out to fix this situation, and am wondering if it is a good idea to automatically replace the pin? Is there some sort of bushing in the cb that might also be worn? I'd like to have parts on hand before I start, if needed. Any ideas on where to get these parts if I need them?

Jon Where do you plan to sail near Walla Walla? I live in the Tri-Cities and plan to sail my M17 at Charbaneau park on the Snake River. Tom M17 Obsessus
John, There was no bushing in my M-15 centerboard. I had the board repaired (the pivotal corner had cracked and failed). When they glassed the corner back on, I had them imbed a large eye bolt in the hopes that it would prevent the corner from breaking out again. So far, (about 5 years) it has not given me any problems. I did not replace the pin. It was in good condition. Stan M-15, #177, Carol II
