Coronado 27 Keel Bolts

Coronado27 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-21-2010

I believe I recall a post from Jeff H a long while ago that said he had experienced some bad keel bolts on a Coronado 27 sometime in the past. Mine are pretty rusted on top, but I'm not seeing any cracks at the attachment point on the hull. As old as it is, I don't want to fix what ain't broke, but a lost keel is about as bad as nightmares can get. Any advice on how to tell when it's time to panic?

Why wait to panic? Drill some sister bolts into the keel from above and add some insurance. It's been done on Coronado's before.
