With all of the discussion of keel bolt backing plates, I uncovered two
new stainless steel backing plates and three old mild steel backing
plates from our old Redwing 35. They measure 2.5" X 4" with a 1"
diameter hole. The stainless steel plates are 3/8" thick and the mild
steel plates are 1/4". They could be had for a donation to Stu.
Let me know.

Those square plates are steel washers to spread the load - the Wider the
better. They were often mild steel (to cut costs).
Admittedly they block water. The best solution is to fill in between them -
which of course isn’t that much fun . . . . .
Cheers, Rob Ball
