More Keel Photos

Got some more photos from Rich (click for larger version):

Starboard Forward


Port Forward

 
Middle keel bols; you can see where the keel was leaking!
water leaking out of the bilge pump can be seen here.

Rear Keel bolts; rough shape

 
Forward keel bolts; this is the broken one that bent when the keel dropped.
The forwardmost one broke right off!

The bolts are 1/2" and a cast into the cast iron keel
NOTE: I will cut the studs off, and drilling the studs out with various drills, and taping for 5/8" stainless threaded rod about perhaps an inch into the cast iron keel.  There is plenty of room.
