Beneteau 285 Keel Nuts

[AldernyRace]

Hello,

I have just purchased a 1989 Beneteau 285 wing keel. The surveyor said the keel nuts should be replace because of minor corrosion. Does anyone know where I can purchase these? Should I contact Beneteau? Thanks!

Should I contact Beneteau?

First place I would start, since they are still in business.

On a friends 385 we did replace her bolts. These are a hardened hi tensile steel and not stainless. Call your Beneteau dealer and get them there, they are actually cheaper than similar stuff I could find on the Internet. Also on the 385 they were replaced with threaded rod and nuts as Beneteau found the bolts were too problematic.
