I'm assuming you countersunk the bolt, or were you willing to put up with the additional (and, perhaps, inconsequential) drag?

Your friend's "quick fix" would last for years. My friend just offered to finish my pin the way I described earlier and I like the look of it better than a bolt and nut (in case anyone happens to swim by the keel). I am not one of the experts on the list, but I think the epoxy is only used to keep the pin from working its way out of the keel, not to keep water out. After offering to take a picture of my pin, I found out that the digital camera tfrom our department is on a trip to Canada with a group of students. I will look around and see if I can borrow another in the near future. I hope you are able to sail your boat soon. You will love it!
