We are working on the keel to get all the old paint off down to bare metal.

Now we metal preped and eopxy painted all ready to install back on Tulla.

When we pulled the old bolts out it had duck-seal over the bolts, then a wood plug... we will do the same when we re-install.

The keel bolts were re-placed at some time ago because there were nuts at the bottom not forged.

Out of 7 keel bolts 2 were gone and the others were 1/2 gone... good thing we decided to re-place them, the keel was ready to fall off if it was sailed hard...
