Hello Greg,

I have owned 2 SeaHawks in the past. The solution to the sticking centre plate was to replace the lifting wire with thin galvanised steel so the plate could be pushed down as well as pulled up.   In other words don't just rely on gravity.

adding a link to Clive's Review of the SeaHawk, which was published in Practical Boat Owner, and which has featured on the site for a while.
