Looks very similar to what i repaired on my 35 MKII using a very similar
procedure to that described by Dennis Connor. Yes there is 1 keel bolt
under the mast and yes torque the nuts to the specs listed on the cnc
photoalbum site for the 35 MKII as the first step. Also replace the backing

Congrats on the new boat and welcome to the list.
