FWIW I do the opposite, I put the board down after lift in and it stays down
most the time. I might try raising it if I'm not trying to point but mostly
if I am approaching shallow water. I'm on Lake Huron so it's clean fresh
water and although I've had the boat only 4 years I have had the inspection
plate off which gives limited access to the pendant and sheave and it all
appears to be fine. I find it a huge advantage and peace of mind when
heading to the North Channel and being able to reduce my draft by 2 feet.

I probably set my CB down 3 or 4 times a year. It really helps pointing
and stiffens the boat. we don't go very far currently but I'm assuming
when we start to venture further it will see more use.

To all you keel/centre board owners, I’m wondering how many of you
actually use the centre board?
Some of you may recall that the pendant let go somewhere in the Bahamas in
14/15. Fortunately the board was jammed up inside and had been for a
number of years. Upon my return to Canada I removed the board and it has
been in my garage ever since. Long story short it is repaired and I am
ready to re-install the board. I’m thinking of just pinning the board in
the up position. I have all the hardware but I’ve only had the board
deployed 3 times in 12 years. This should also relieve any maintenance
issues. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
