I have the same board, and the left side wear is consistent with repeatedly hitting the bottom.Maybe I'll try the Velcro but I faired it to be semi snug. I migbt be able to add some. Will try better fairing too. You can see my homemade top, shockcord etc. And you can see it IS slightly different front to back. I use tbe "right" side in tbe pic as my leading edge. Seems best tbat way. But i may try flipping it as that side" looks" like it might be best aft
So...busting along today on KY Lake...and the centerboards starts to sing. For some reason it was a little annoying....so I only pulled it up about 5 inches... and it stopped humming.
So...I've got the original '69 board, which admittedly was in sad shape when I got the boat. So I sanded and faired with West Systems back to what I thought the shape used to be. Basically taking on dings and fairing the edges to be consistent along the length. The bottom 2/3rds of the board I went ahead and gelcoated, because it required enough filling in some gouges, that the wood grain wasn't so pretty. But the top 1/3rd looks nice...all woody lo0king.
So...where do I start to fair a little more (or add, etc) to nix the hummers?
oh...the round, wooden board. I'll get pics later.
Probably should and then i can experiment with the old wooden oneGo for it--jor bite the bullet and buy the newer f'glas brd.
