I hope they didn't heat them to a point where there was any color (colour) on them, or the chrome will be gone and they may rust.

The yard that removed my keel took a day and a half to do the job. Apparent it was epoxied and glassed on to the point they had to heat the bolts to free them and allow the keel to drop.

To lower the keel the boat was lifted up a few inches off the floor after the nuts on the keel bolts were removed. A half hour of pounding with wedges and big sledge hammer were required to lower the keel a few inches. The crew were not used to this. During the process one of the workers stated "this ain't no bendy toy". This yard has works on many boats for many years. > > Don > > _______________________________________________ > This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album > http://www.cncphotoalbum.com > CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
