Interesting read. Fortunately Callisto's keel and bolts seem to be in great
shape. One thing not covered in the article was lightning damage. A
friend's Hylas was just discovered to have keel damage caused by a
lightning strike, and had to have the keel dropped and re-bedded, and

Pretty much as Dennis says, the fiberglass probably does compress a little.
The fact is, that they do get loose as we all know. However that happens,
they need to be kept quite snug. If you can imagine, having loose bolts and

If you search for photos of keels being repaired, you will find photos of lead

The keel bolts are in lead. Lead is soft and eventually they would pull upwards
slightly. I would assume that is why. I have been planning to contact
MARSKEEL and get some pro info.

A quick update:
Pretty much every nut needed tightening. I can’t recall exactly when I did it
last, but it was probably at least 5-10 years ago. Water that was getting in
the bilge is no longer getting in 😊
This raises a question: I cannot imagine that these nuts are backing off, so

I did not use any bedding compound. Just used my angle grinder with 4 inch
disc to grind out between the lead keel and the keel sump. Created a gap
about 1/2 inch wide started from forward and aft about 2 feet or so.
Cleaned up the 2 freshly ground surfaces and washed each well with acetone.
Then
Hello Dwight,
Did you use any bedding compound in the smile before you glassed?
I was planning on doing some tightening this winter and was contemplating
squeezing 3M 5200 into the smile before tightening and then glassing the
exterior of the smile.
