I originally posted this in the Oday area, but was hoping I might get more insight by asking everyone here.
I'm trying to find out how the keel bolts are secured to the lead keel on my 1987 Oday 28. I've looked through the archives but couldn't find the answer.
I hauled out the boat and had the bottom repainted. While waiting for other repairs I noticed that some water oozed out of the bedding material where the lead keel butts up to the bottom of the boat. It's streaked down the fin in several places. I had the boat yard try to tighten the keel bolts, but one of them seems to be pulling out of the lead. We're not sure how the bolts were secured in the lead, so we're not sure how to proceed.
Thanks, Mike
