Centerboard Help

[smoothsailing]

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 1969 Morgan 30.

The previous owner did not use the C-board and locked it in the up position with vice grips.

All is rusted, the wire is no good, and I am not sure if the C-board is now frozen in place

The boat is on the Hard with the keel blocked.

I would like to get it in working order for the 2012 season.

Any help (drawings and/or pics) would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Bill
