 garyg Sat 06 Apr 2013 15:18:12 | Before I start breaking into the vertical tube which supports the bridge deck and through which the centre plate chain runs I'd appreciate confirmation that the three aft keel bolts are located under the tube and not at the side. Judicious removal of exposed glass fibre to the side of the tube supports this view but I'd like to be sure before going further. Luis and Jakob have provided some really useful information but the matter of bolt location seems to be the last piece in the keel removal jigsaw. When complete I will post a blow by blow process for removal / replacement, with pictures. It's the least I can do to support a very helpful site. Thanks Gary | |
