Just a follow up. I purchased the Lehigh #7411 1/4" stainless steel Anchor Shackle from Home Depot, and the pin fits just fine through the rearmost hole in the stem fitting. So in answer to my own questions above: 1) no, 2) no, 3) yes.

Hey Radu, Are you sure you used a 1/4" anchor shackle? I just bought a 1/4" anchor shackle at Lowes (which is close as opposed to Home Depot which is 20 minutes away) and it does not fit that rearmost hole in the stem fitting. Home Depot sells a different brand, but apparently also stocks a...

I have a year 2000 Mod 3 hull id CPSD4890L900. My centerboard has a ding where it slipped down while trailering, about 1/3 way down along the leading edge. This ding goes through what appears to be a hard thin top layer (say 1/32nd inch), through some softer white filler (say another 1/16th)...
