We are going to refurbish our swing keel sometime in the near future and I am wondering about cold galvanizing it with Z.R.C. (see related link) or maybe even Hot-dipped galvanizing. My understanding is that galvanizing works best without a top coat, which, it seems, would mean we couldn't fill and fair the keel. Or, we could fair it and go ahead and top coat it and just compromise a little on the protectivness of the galvanizing. Overkill? Anybody here have any experience with ZRC? And how much does fairing the keel affect performance vs. just leaving it rough and galvanized? Appreciate your thoughts, thanks.John
