I am in desperate need of information leading me to find a new alternative to the old rusted cast iron swing keel on my 19 ODay Mariner. The boat is in great shape other than the keel. Would very much like to upgrade and or repair the keel , so I can get her back in the water! Please help with any info ! Thanks brant.harp@gmail.com

O'Day Mariner centerboard

Check out the link to this other O'Day site and search out the Mariner page on it. I guess that this is a problem that some Mariner owners have encountered with these particular boats, but it can be solved. One fellow writes about this problem and how he solved it. Good luck! Joe

A couple of ideas

Joe, The current maker of the Mariner, Stuart Marine (www.stuartmarine.net), has replacement CB listed on their parts list. They are pricey thought...I believe in the $700 range. There is also good info on rehabilitating rusted boards at the U.S. Mariner Association's web site (www.usmariner.org). Just do a search on rust and centerboard or keel. Good luck, Dan
