Finally got the centerboard out and began the process of restoring it. I began by stripping all of the old paint and primer off from her. I, then, wirebrushed the loose rust off from it and ground it to expose fresh metal. The original attempt was to try to get all of the pitting out of the CB but that just wasn't going to happen. After the CB was brought down to fresh metal, I ground the ragged leading edge and made it a fairly consistent straight line again. (It still has some wobbles in it but not as bad as before). This brought us to the priming stage. I used 6980 Rustlock Metal Primer, applying 4 coats per side to the CB. I then finished it off with 2-3 coats of Easypoxy Topcoat paint.
