subject: keel bolt plates

---

When I got my SJ 21, the keel bolt plate (for the removable bolt, had worked loose. The screw holes in the keel trunk had wallowed out. I used some JB Weld in the holes, drilled them, and reinstalled the plate, with JB Weld smeared across the back as well.

Last month, I hit a sand bar with the keel. The impact again loosened the plate.

Any advice on fixing it? (Other than staying away from shallow water!)

Thanks,

Bill
