I've looked through the archives for posting refering to keel bolts but no luck. There should be a "how to" about repairs. I have a 1980 H 27 with 2-3 failed keel bolts. Can I just drill down into the lead and install lag bolts? The local boat yard wants to drop the keel a $2500 repair!!! Any suggestions? Harry, I've tried to e-mail you but couldn't get a good e-mail address.
