Hi. Casper is in a ship yard for an aft keel bolt replacement. Would anyone know if the wing keels are straight bolts or what are known as J bolts

They need to be J-bolts or something similar that gives the bolt some purchase in the lead - a straight bolt wouldn't be enough, with just the threads gripping the lead. You can drill a hole in the side of the keel to put a nut and washer on the bolt 8-10 inches from the top of the keel.
If you're looking to do it yourself, here's an excellent article on how one person did it: Keel Bolts
