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
why is thi
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.
Our 30 mk1 with engine controls on the cockpit side, has a throttle
detent/notch you can feel as you push it forward.
Anyone else have this?
If so, what is the purpose?
The cable is out of adjustment. I am going to adjust the cable and wonder if
that detent is to meant to be "startup" position
I hadn’t thought of that! The keel is slowly getting shorter. If I keep the
boat another 50 years I won’t be aground at extra-low tide!

No! If the lead is soft, the keel will be getting longer as it sags. The
shark fin shape will gradually become longer until it resembles the dorsal
of a male orca. LOL :)
I suspect the fiberglass may have compressed slightly.

The fiberglass can compress of course.
If you search for photos of keels being repaired, you will find photos of lead
keels with the bolts being _rebedded_.
MARSKEEL website is especially cool. Some of their staff worked for C&C. They
not only make new and repair old lead keels (both oem and cu
When I first torqued the forward-most keel bolt, the 3/4" one, I heard
some crunching sounds and found out there's wood under the top
fiberglass layer below the keel bolt, inside the deep V of the lower
hull. Pretty sure it's the same under the others farther aft. It was a
tedious repair, do
I think if you had water ingress and sloved the issue by tightening the
nuts on your keel bolts then getting good effect from the bedding compound
used was the problem. Anybody know what bedding compound was used on build.

I believe our C&C yachts use lead doped with a percent of Antimony. The
Antimony adds strength, hardness, oxidation resistance, and aids in the flow
for the casting process.It not like pure lead, and the properties are not the
same. maybe we have some metallurgists in the group, and they can c

How did you survive the visit from Fiona? I hope you and your close ones are ok.
