Hi everyone, I acquired this boat recently and have not been able to find much information about it. The questions that I have are 1, this boat has a swing keel and the winch for it is missing. It looks like it mounts in the starboard lazerette forward of the throttle and gauges. Does anyone have information or pictures of this winch and how it is mounted? And 2, how much pulling force does it take to raise the keel? I have the manuals and brocures that came with the boat but they do not include any information about this subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I realize it’s been 2 years since this post however, did you get your answer? My swing keel was fiberglassed in as the previous owner hated dealing with it, particularly the barnacles.
