Keel bolts in a 27 please enter!!!!!!!!!

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

 

put new ones in they are inexpensive,and will give you peace of mind ,,,,dont forget to cauke them ,and check your zinks,

 

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.

 

Hi and thanks, what will be the comment of put new ones beside the original ones. Thanks.

 

new ones are even better ,,,,good luck .

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