Center board replacement

Sugar Bear · Post by **Sugar Bear** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 9:26 am

I am not sure how but I have lost my center board on my 98

. Any ideas on getting a replacement or is this something that I should try to frabricate

The two pins that the center board connect to look to be ok.

I replaced my board just this March.

You can get a replacement from Blue Water Yachts. http://bwyachts.com/

Board cost: $233
Crate: $30
Shipping: $65 to me in NC from them in WA. (totally from the West coast to the East coast, so yours will be less)

All the holes were drilled so it was easy to put back in. Of course I did some mods to it... see my web.

I purchased a spare for my 26m when I bought the boat from boats4sale.com. He had more in stock so you might want to contact him.

Bill is a great Guy/ Dealer.. That said :
The Dagger Boards found on all M's ....are NOT usable for replacement as a center board on any X
ON EDIT
ALL X's have CB's, so a M's DB will NOT be interchangeable!

I agree, Bill was fun and informative too deal with. I was going to rig my boat a certain way but bill then showed me his rig package. So far I am glad I Iistened to him. As I gain more experience I am sure that feeling will increase.

Maybe there are a good idea to make your own board of ferrocement with stainless frame and lead in bottom - the original board are to ligth in weigth and not tick enough so it rattles in the nigth .....

I am surprised to hear a dagger board was usable on ANY year X boat. Could I be misreading the meaning, or has Bill just stated it carelessly ?

Sorry for your loss...

Do you still have the metal hanger or did that go too?

Alex I could well be wrong.. I Had Thought ? That The newer X's had DB's not CB's.. Can someone please confirm?

ON EDIT I just looked at the owners Manuals on this site and ALL X's have CB's MY BAD !!!!!
I edited my original post but "quotes" of my post by others will NOT reflect this change..

I still have the bracket it looks to be in good condition. I just got a centerboard and upper mounting bracket from BWY, costs were the same as above.

I have been reviewing the ideas on this board on how to install it and will let you know my out come.
