How deep into the lead are the keel bolts usually? Are they just single straight bolts or do they have an *L* like a concrete foundation anchor? Or maybe a U-bolt that is inside the lead? I have to remove the keel bolts from my 1000-Lb lead keel and was just curious what length and shape I can expect to deal with? The keel from my 1977 C&C 24 is in just as good of shape as the one in this video. Sadly though I couldn't find the C&C a new home and ended up stripping all salvageable and resellable parts off the vessel, then cut it up and hauled it to the landfill. Been hanging onto the keel in hopes to find another C&C owner in need of one but now it too will be scrapped.
HERE IS A LINK TO THE SAME ENGINE ON THE SAME BOAT 5 YEARS LATER AFTER A COMPLETE REBUILD BY THE NEW OWNERS. ITS IS A TRUE COLD START!!! ;-) THIS JUST PROVES NEW IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER!
nice!, do they all make that harsh metallic clacking sound at low RPM or is it just as worn out as mine? ( I have a well used YSE12 that sounds horrid at low RPM)
