Message:Good luck when you try.
The lug at the aft end of the plate (if plate and keel are in good condition) will only come out when the pivot bolt is removed and the plate dropped at the forward end, or the plate moved forward slightly.
When we did ours we raised the aft supports on the trailer as high as they would go to get the keel clear.
I hadn't realized you were on Windermere so use of the tide and drying out on mud isn't much use to you.
We used to sail from Roa Island and will again after some repairs. Our last lake sailing was on Coniston.
