M_Boats: M17

M17 centerboard, thanks everyone for all the help on the CB. After reading I find I was on the right tract. I made a cardboard pattern using a tick stick, transferred to 1/4" ply, used a marker to find pivot pin point, drilled ply, inverted 1/2" pivot to check swing, went to fabricater and he cut it out of 1/2" plate, drilled both holes, being epoxied as I write, using cutting board plastics for shims. I can feel the movement on the water. Thanks again, Mike.
