Stus-List Keel Bolt Under the Mast on 35 MK 3
Has anyone out there done any reconstruction in that cavity under the mast step where the keel bolt comes up. My mast step is solid, but I can't seem to get the forward keel bolt tight enough. I dropped the keel last spring and rebeded it with 5200 but the forward bolt still leaks after a hard race.

Re: Stus-List Keel Bolt Under the Mast on 35 MK 3
Doug, How can you tell the forward keel bolt is leaking? Is there seepage from under the mast? I went through a similar repair about ten years ago. We dropped the keel, drilled a large bore hole through the mast step and inserted a stainless steel post (about 1 ½ in diameter). The keel bolt now tries to compress the post instead of the somewhat questionable filler that is found in the mast step. While my bilge is still always wet, my only issue is the constant stink that the boat has. When we dropped the keel the forward bolt had a bunch of black water surrounding it. The smell was horrible. To further reduce any mast step problems, we installed a large ¼ stainless steel plate over the mast step to spread the load across several of the cross members. I do have some pictures to share offline.

Re: Stus-List Keel Bolt Under the Mast on 35 MK 3
What's a photo cloud? Is that anything like cloud computing, which is a recently revived buzz word. No clouds here today, it's hot and clear, but I did get in the kayak and finished waxing the starboard side before 11 a.m, when it was starting to get really hot. We do get clouds rolling in after sunset when the thermals over the mountain rain forest create strong convection, but they are often full of lightning, which will probably mess up the pictures. I've looked at clouds from both sides now...

Re: Stus-List Keel Bolt Under the Mast on 35 MK 3
I had a problem similar to Jake's. When the boat was out of the water, I could wiggle the keel from side to side. There was also the CC smile. We dropped the keel, and flushed out the forward keel bolt hole from below. Horrible smell, like Jake experienced. The yard ground the top of the keel and the stub, remounted the keel using thickened epoxy, and filled the void around the forward keel bolt with about a gallon of epoxy. The yard also made square washers that were thicker on the forward edge than the aft edge so that round washers laid perpendicular to the keel bolts. Finally, they epoxied a strip of fiberglass cloth around the keel-stub joint. It's been five or more years, and no problems have reappeared.

Before you send everyone your pictures, consider uploading them to a site on the net – check out Photobucket, Picaso, etc. and then send everyone the link. Not everyone wants to see them, but those that do can easily view them on your photo gallery. Sending pictures uses a lot of bandwidth and on this list they would be stored in the archives. We get charged for both and it get costly. Stu From: Richard N.
