Does anyone know the location of the centerboard pin on Pacific Dolphins?

Mark, I have a Yankee (#186). The Pacific Dolphin's centerboard appears to be identical to the Yankee, meaning that the pin is actually in your bilge (cabin side) under some glass. This is different from O'Days (and maybe Lunns?) that had the pin buried externally in the keel. Definitely limits the exploratory surgery necessary.
