1) This looks like you would use the broken pin to hold the board up--if so, a little risky IMHO.
3) This could be a lot of lead grinding/dust/hazardous. 4) Good luck with this!! 2) Have had my yard do this when I lost my board a few years ago--not a big deal to grind away fiberglass to pin, drive it out, raise the boat above the board with travel lift. This is likely to require some kind of cradle to hold the board vertical while the boat is suspended above it. If you have all the parts ready, you/the yard can replace the bolt/straps/etc. in the board while the boat is suspended in the lift. (I don't know about a 35-3 board but mine weighed about 1000 lbs so 'dropping the board' requires some kind of cradle, etc. A 1000 lb piece of lead filled fiberglass shaped like a fin is a little unwieldy to keep in or return to its 'normal' position When the board work is completed, the boat is lowered onto board, pin replaced, fiberglass filled in, painted, etc. and off you go--several thousand dollars poorer-- but with a permanent fix.

We were able to get the board down and reach the ttachment point but the pin itself is broken. There are two straps with ne on each side of the board, they appear intact. But the pin that runs etween is broken. We can grind the remnants out but there appears no easy ay to replace it? Even with the board down the straps are up in the keel avity and there is no clearance outboard of the straps. Anyone been down his path? Possible choices seem to be 1) just pin the board up and forget bout it (for the moment this is what we are going to do so I can splash); )punch the pivot pin on the board out and drop it; 3) grind the nose of the eel a bit to allow the board to pivot forward more than usual and enough to xpose the strap and replace the pin normally. Not sure it this can be done ithout getting into the lead too deep-; 4) getting creative on the hardware ront-some sort of pin/bolt that will fit between the straps (approx 1.5") nd the then expand (spring? threaded?)to pop into the strap holes on either ide. Of course it needs to be stainless, handle real weight and stay xpanded.....Thoughts? Voice of experience? Anyone tried #3?
