Replaced Keel Cable last Year

The keel cable on my '83 H20 let go last year and I had very little trouble raising the boat and dropping the keel on the trailer, replacing the cable, and reinstalling the keel. I had no help with the job - did it in my driveway. I exchanged e-mails with 6 or 7 other owners who had similar experiences (but with different solutions - If you'd lke more info e-mail me at Coleman_Family@nt.sympatico.ca.Tim ColemanH20 Zephyr
