Restoring a 1970s Keel

[Andrewjh26]

Any tips or suggestions?

Gonna need a little more information. Lead or iron? Encapsulated? Full or fin? Why is the restoration needed? Type of damage. Photos help.

I've done extensive restoration of several keels but.. like @dlochner stated. Can't really help until we know what the problem is.

Post some pics.

Your boat has a swing keel, most likely cast iron. There is a whole series of posts on TSBB from Charles Brennan on restoring his 38 year old keel on his boat

here's a link to one of them use the search for more

Yes. Pictures of the problem. A statement of your concerns. A brief outline of your skills and capabilities.
If these are not possible.... Find a local boat yard and ask them to help you.
It is not wise to guess in these matters.
