| MAHOGENY SIDES BOLTED TO STAINLESS FLANGE |
THERE IS A LOT OF STRESS ON A CENTERBOARD TRUNK IN A CATBOAT THIS LARGE.
THE SOURCE OF MANY LEAK. I TOOK THE LIBERTY TO DESIGN A TRUNK THAT WOULD NOT LEAK. IT IS A STAINLESS RECTANGLE TUBE (WELDMENT)
THAT FITS DOWN THROUGH THE KEEL WITH FLANGES FOR THE FLOOR TIMBERS TO BOLT TO. THIS GIVES IT A LOT OF STRENGTH, WILL NOT SPLIT
THE KEEL. IT ALSO GIVES YOU A PLACE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE KEEL TO CAULK IF NEED BE IN THE FUTURE.
