Hello Listers,
While on the hard want to check the nuts on the keel bolts and understand 250
lbs is needed. Boat mechanic says it is very difficult to get the proper
leverage deep in the bilge. Anyone ever used a small jack and maybe also with
a cheater pipe to apply side pressure
I wonder if your pits were from not using it and then oxidation or
electrolysis cause carbon material to deteriorate. The more you use it the
better the seal is as the carbon polishes itself out. I had leakage when my
prop coupling was badly miss-aligned but once I fixed that, leakage went
away.
looks like 16 to 18 knt winds with 24 knt gust and 7' seas tomorrow up here.
I'm holding off for colder and calmer seas of 4' on Sunday... LOL Coming out
of and getting back into the westport river can be pretty exciting in those
kind of seas! Anyone want some crew in in Narragansett bay??

A simple solution for the set screw issue is to use the retention collar
(http://www.pyiinc.com/index.php?section=src). It uses very positive
compression (i.e. large) bolts to hold on to the shaft. If you install it
right behind the stainless steel bearing of the PSS, it would (almost) never

Check the amount of bolt sticking out. You may need a deep
or extra deep socket. If the nut is 1 1/2 the bolt is 1 and
requires 350 ft/lbs of torque. To me that would be a 1 drive
and at least an 18 bar.
As a start I would recommend borrowing or renting the
appropriate socket, short extension and
look out for ascenders with 'teeth'; they can shred the rope on a fall, and
break the rope (if it is bad enough, but will ruin the rope anyhow). Gibb
ascenders a lot better (more like a line clutch), we only used Gibbs in USART.
