Minimise damage to the top of your centreboard case by maintaining your centreboard stops.
- Increase the bolt size to either M8 or M10, many Rondar boats have been fitted with just 6mm bolts.
- Use solid stops, not hollow ones!
- Attach a stainless steel plate to the case to reduce damage further.
Take the opportunity to service the up-haul strop and block and replace if required.

Note: Fleet Racing Boats will often remove their stops, this is not advised for a boat being used for Team Racing.
