I think you have the impression the lead keel is encapsulated within a fiberglass sheath. That's not the way they built Melelana (175). To my knowledge, all Catalina 42s have external lead keels.

The ballast keel is lead with keel bolts imbedded during the casting process. These bolts pass through the stub keel or keel sump in the hull where large nuts are torqued down to fit the keel to the hull. A strong adhesive... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (melelana) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4279 Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:49:36 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Wet bilge solved ]]> http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4278/t/Wet-bilge-solved.html#reply-4278 Ron & Mary Blaul

The fore and aft bolts moved about 360 degrees, the center more than 180, and the rest some where in between. I question whether this job was ever done on MissAdventure.

It is clear that your mechanic will not soon be receiving a call from NASA. He does not appear to be a rocket scientist.

There is no torque loss due to the twisting of the extension. The extension may twist, but as long as it does not break or keep increasing its twist, the same torque will exist at the bottom of the extension as the top.

The keel bolts are large. The stated torque level... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yorkrose) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/4284 Wed, 25 Jan 2006 10:58:05 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Wet bilge solved ]]> http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/4283/t/Wet-bilge-solved.html#reply-4283
Does Catalina have posted specs and recommendations for this maintenence?

thanks

Where/what type wrenches/sockets/etc does one purchase/rent for the task of tightening C42 keel & Stuffing Box nuts?

I wish to purchase good quality tools for same for the next haulout.

I was referring to my wet bilge I live in South Florida and I have two AC's running most of the time. The condensation keeps my bilge wet, otherwise it would be dry.

But the discussion regarding keel bolts is a good one!

Tightening in the water would probably work just fine, but I liked the idea that my boat's weight was settled onto the keel when the bolts were tightened, kind of pushing it home.
