Jeff, The simple answer is that the centerboard can be removed while on the trailer. You will have to remove the centerboard cap which you can only get to by removing the step and part of the settee. The cap has a gazillion bolts and has a gasket which you can reuse after the work is completed. If for some reason the gasket gets destroyed, you can order a replacement from General Boats. The archives of our list has many in depth references on how to remove and reinstall the cap. Once the cap is removed, make sure to take numerous photos so you know how the pennant line goes back in.

My boat is on the trailer and I need to replace the line that pulls the board up, as well as scaped and paint the board. Can this be accomplished while the boat is on the trailer? or do I need to pull the boat to pull the board straight up??
