  • Over the past couple of weeks I have managed to get my keel resurfaced and firmly re-attached to the hull. I made so many easily-avoidable mistakes, in this video, watch how I get the keel back on, and let me tell you about everything you should NOT do when you put your keel back on.
    - Make sure you have enough epoxy/sealant on hand!
    - Make sure you use the correct epoxy hardener!
    - Don't let the keel come back down once you have lifted it into the epoxy or sealant!
    - Make sure your keel is aligned to the vertical axis of the boat!
    - Buy the right tools for the job, or borrow your friends' (thanks Dan!)
    Estimated Costs (your mileage may vary):
    $700 yard/lift costs (in San Carlos, Mexico)
    $300 raw materials (epoxy and sealant)
    $120 new 316 stainless nuts/washers/lock rings
    $100 new backing plates (304 stainless, 3/16 thickness)
    $300 tools (torque wrench, XL socket set, drive extensions)
