You may want to give a call to Clarkes in Jamestown RI. My boat was there
when I bought it 3 years ago. They seemed reasonably priced and let me do

Tracy,
I rebuilt the keel stub on my 35-3 last year, with guidance from a few guys
on this list. The design is slightly different on the 38-3, based in your
diagrams.
Is that aft keel bolt loose? What is the condition of the area around that
bolt? Are there backing plates for the keel bolts, or jus
Check the solenoid connection, as well. On my boat, the PO used tape to
connect the Solenoid wires to the switch. Of course, the connection had
come undone. The solenoid was corroded, and still didn't work with a proper
connection, so I still had to replace it.

I will add my two cents. I received great advice and guidance from members

I have had Progressive for 11 years. I had a claim on my previous boat.

Is it possible that the crack is below the actual keel hull joint?
When you look again, send more pics from inside and out, including the keel
bolts.

I am finally about to rebed the keel on Freya (35MK3). The Torque table
indicates a value of 300 ft lbs for a 1" bolt. I have read a variation of
adjustments to that value if using antisieze "lubricant". I have Tufgel, so
I plan on using that. The values I have read regarding the torque for wet

I have moved Freya to my backyard and started work on the keel hull joint.

The most aft bolt is the one that was leaki

I purchased the owners manual, which has a diagram of the keel hull joint.
The diagram shows the keel bolts to be at an angle and not vertical. This
would make it tricky to raise the hull off the keel.
The bolts appear to be vertical when looking at them in the cabin. Can

Unfortunately, I had to haul Feya because of a leaking at the most aft keel

one time and there is at least one stringer that has separated from the
