Keel is removed. Pin is in sad shape. Hole is still the right size in the middle.
The plan is to built up the hole with weld, by welding around the pin. Steel doesn't stick to bronze, so this should work. I'm cutting a new pin out of a stainless propeller shaft I've got laying around. While it's out, obviously it will be cleaned up, faired and painted.
