I have a 1983 Catalina 25.
Does anyone know what the swing keel by itself weighs?
After hauling it out yesterday to have the keel lifting hardware replaced I noticed a few things that I'm unsure about. Video for reference:
You'll notice a lot a play in the keel when I grab and rock it. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
Also, notice the angle of the keel cable as it goes from boat to keel, and notice the cable actually rubbing against the thru hull. The cable is routed aft of the turning ball as required.
Any advice would be appreciated.
