Just purchased a 1981 H 22. Where is the swing keel pivot pin and bracket located? How do you remove it to drop the centerboard? Thanks

If my memory from 30 years ago is still correct, the pivot bolt was located under the floor boards beneath table in the main cabin in between the ballast weights. The retracting cable on my Hunter 22 center board ( NOTE: it is not a swing keel) broke and I had to drop the center board to replace the line. It helps to have a travel lift or boat hoist available to do this.

brsch,
I started a thread sometime back that had a lot of discussion on my 1981 H22 swing keel (and the rudder), and there might be some information of interest for you as well. I've dropped my swing keel a number of times (on the trailer) for repair and eventual replacement. You can find the thread in this forum at:

If that doesn't help, let me know what specifics you are after, and I'll see if I can accomodate your needs.
Have fun ! !
