While scraping clutter away from the "smile" (about an 8" section in the very forward most area of the keel) I notice a screw or bolt showing thru from the top of the keel to the hull. My "smile" is about 1/8" wide and as said is only in the forward 8 inches. This screw is about 4 inches from the leading edge of the keel and I can see the threads of it. It seems to be about 3/8" diameter, much smaller than the keel bolts. My problem is that I cannot spot this from the bilge area to see about tightening it. It is forward of the large keel bolt directly forward of the mast. At this point the keel is only about 4-6 inches deep (the 33-1 keel is swept back). Does anyone know of this forward keel screw/bolt and how to tighten it? Thanks, Tom Oryniak, *Carry On *33-1
