Bill,
If your nipples are exposed perhaps it is time to put a bra or shirt on your centerboard trunk!!!
If you have experience working underwater with SCUBA equipment, underwater light etc. you should be able to inspect your board with no problem. You could probably do it with just SNORKEL gear if you are feeling robust. If you have limited underwater skills I would not try to lower the board while in the water.
BTW, the nipples (or bolts) on our centerboard pivot pin T27 are exposed as well.

well, thank you all for the comments regarding inspecting the c/b on
the water, and especially thank you, Steve.
Having read the pro's and cons (mostly cons), I think I'm not brave or
desperate enough to be the first to drop the board intentionally while
on the water. It seems like it would be possible since it's only
slightly below the water line, but difficult and uncertain. I hate
uncertain when I don't have a backup plan.
And, for full disclosure, I checked and my nipples are exposed.
