    hi all
    I am restoring a 1960 S&S Dolphin 24, an external lead keel with a slot for a bronze centerboard. The board was held in the keel slot with a press fit 3/4" bronze pin. Driving out this pin was really tough - 10 lb sledge, etc.

    I want a new system so I can drop the centerboard anytime I want without a hassle. Any leads or ideas much appreciated.
