Hi all have used my new Starboard Phantom five times now and the centreboard gaskets seem to be getting tighter,not
easier to use, almost to the point that's getting impossible to get the board fully up while sailing along, anyone have any suggestions more ideas ?

thanks

Spray that on the gaskets (all along on the outside but be careful on the inside as too much will let the centreboard going down by itself. I usually just don't spray the rear third on the inside):www.harken.com/productcategory.aspx?taxid=372







Tested and approved.

Awesome will grab some and give it a try. Just to clarify, only spray it on the outside of the gasket and not inside the centreboard case .

I spray mine on the inside of the centreboard case. Gets easier when it is wet too.
Not had a problem with mine getting too loose personally. Is still pretty new though.

Both inside and outside.
Sorry, I knew I wasn't very clear .
What I meant was: spray it as much as you want on the outside but try with just a bit on the inside first (easier to spray more if needed than to clean it) starting from the front.

The Mclube works great for the mast track as well. Obviously, make sure you don't spray it on the deck of the board
