Re: Daggerboard not going down

The centreboard is quite heavy and should drop even if the holes are clogged. The other users suggestion sounds likely. Mine jammed because the PO padded it out at the pivot pin with plywood to stop the rattle and used a bolt and nut instead of the pin. The plywood swelled and jammed the board from ...
