Hi friends, My newport 27 1971 have the keel bolts a little corroted. I dont know if put more like the last owner of my Columbia 39 do, or just remove the older ones and replaced. What kind of bolts or screws are they and where I can find them. If some there with this kind of problem or good ideas??. I want to do this before put the boat on the water. Thanks

you can get bronse or stainless steel, you can buy stock from just about any hardware store,good stainless is not magnetic , check with a good magnet.

Do as Longliner says - replace them all. If the old ones have sentimental value, then use them as ballast. Otherwise, chuck 'em. :rolleyes:
