Stus-List 35 MK III keel bolt plates

[David Swensen via CnC-List]

Thanks, Chuck and Alan. I had not planned on fully dropping the keel this
year. The boat is currently in Jamestown RI. I will be sailing her up to
Beverly, MA after she is launched. The mast is currently up,and I have been
quoted 500 each way to unstep and step. I was hoping to hold off until next
year to unstep. This year,  I was planning on just grinding out the joint
(which I have already done) tightening the bolts with new plates/washers,
and fairing the joint with GFlex and fairing filler (303?). There is
currently 4200 or something similar in the keel hull joint. I am planning
to drop the mast next fall, and then fully assessing/addressing the mast
step. My surveyor thought the mast step was in good condition, although the
mast was up when surveyed.  The boat, based on what I could tell by the C
plate in the back of the cockpit, was built in Niagara on the Lake. From
what I have read elsewhere, the mast steps from that facility were more
solidly than those built in RI. Should I also glass the joint and then
re-grind in the fall? Other comments? Safety issues?
Does anyone have the washer sizes?
Thanks.
Best,
David Swensen

David,

I have been running a list of of C owners for a couple of years that 
started out as to their experience and how long they had their boat.  
It has expanded thru multiple sources to over 2300 C  For all the 
C 35 there are 375 boats and 196 C 35  Mk3s contained on the 
list.  I assume the below boat is what you bought.  Any further 
details would be appreciated. If you would like I can drop you the 
list of the C 35s, It is too big for the CnC forum.

Re: Stus-List 35 MK III keel bolt plates

Welcome to the list, David. Where are you/your boat located? Here's how I
did the smile repair on my boat:

Dropped the keel. Flushed out the keel bolt holes.  The forward bolt hole
(which was under the mast) had a void around it, and a terrible smell when
it was flushed out. The yard ground the surface of the keel and the stub,
filled the void with a gallon of epoxy (yes, a gallon), and epoxied the
keel to the stub. New washers were fabricated (large square stainless,
tapered so that the old washers and nuts would lay flat against the new
washers). The old washers were replaced with the newly fabricated washers,
and then placed on top of the new washers with the nuts torqued to spec.
Finally the smile was covered with fiberglass and epoxy. After more than
ten years, the smile hasn't returned, and I haven't had to torque the nuts
again.


Some members of the list used a flexible seal instead of epoxy between the
stub and the  keel. I don't know how that worked for them. I'll be on my
boat this wee4k, and I'll try to take some pictures of the keel bolt
washers.

Be warned -the 35 MK III has a failure mode more complicated to fix than 
adding new backing plates. A MK III owner can explain exactly what to 
look for, you will want to check for that too.
