Viper Owner's Manual 30
Lift the middle of the rod to release the pin from the lockdown hole.
Raise the rudder. Press the lock down pin and rod into the plastic lock up keeper.
3.8 Centerboards
Both centerboards are the same, but the strap fitted to them makes them port and starboard. The
straps should have the retainer knot on the outside of the boat.
The strap connecting the centerboards should pass under the toe straps and all other lines on the
tramp deck. When sailing, pulling the strap will raise the board from either side of the boat.
Before putting the centerboards in their casing, rinse the board and the felt lining with water to
remove sand and grit that might damage the board. Make sure to keep the centerboards in their
protective covers during transportation and storage.

the tapered end fits nicely into the plastic batten pocket ends.
