Here is my solution for passing a cable up from the centerboard and turning it on a block to raise the centerboard. I cut 3 pieces of oak and interlayed a total of four 1/8th inch rubber gasket material. There is a 1/2 hole through all the boards. The first board has one layer below and two layers above. The second board has one layer. The cable snakes through all four layers thereby sealing out all water. I will be lake testing this with a load in the spring. Meanwhile I will need to add a raised section to the centerboard trunk decorative encasement so as to accommodate this new elevation.
It's back to work tomorrow. We will continue to finish the centerboard and its trunk as weather permits.
