You may want to give a call to Clarkes in Jamestown RI. My boat was there
when I bought it 3 years ago. They seemed reasonably priced and let me do

Tracy,
I rebuilt the keel stub on my 35-3 last year, with guidance from a few guys
on this list. The design is slightly different on the 38-3, based in your
diagrams.
Is that aft keel bolt loose? What is the condition of the area around that
bolt? Are there backing plates for the keel bolts, or
Check the solenoid connection, as well. On my boat, the PO used tape to
connect the Solenoid wires to the switch. Of course, the connection had
come undone. The solenoid was corroded, and still didn't work with a proper
connection, so I still had to replace it.

I will add my two cents. I received great advice and guidance from members
of this list when the keel on my 35-3 was swinging in the wind, and leaking
like a sieve. I would agree that because you do not have any water making

I had my rods reheaded and a new forestay and harken furler installed on my

over 1000 total. I am just outside of Boston, where prices are generally on

I have had Progressive for 11 years. I had a claim on my previous boat.
They came and made an assessment of the damage and I had a check 3 days
later. I was told if the repairs were over the amount they sent me to send
the receipt and they would review and send an additional check if
necessary.
I do not know about using Boric Acid with spiders, but I know my brother is
in Dunkirk, NY and they have mucho spiders there. He uses peppermint oil,
and it seems to work pretty well. He dabs soaked cotton balls around the
compalionway, hatches, and portholes, and I believe docklines.

Is it possible that the crack is below the actual keel hull joint?
When you look again, send more pics from inside and out, including the keel
bolts.

I am finally about to rebed the keel on Freya (35MK3). The Torque table
indicates a value of 300 ft lbs for a 1" bolt. I have read a variation of
adjustments to that value if using antisieze "lubricant". I have Tufgel, so
I plan on using that. The values I have read regarding the torque for wet

Does anyone know how far aft of the propeller strut the strut recess

aft of the strut. I am not sure if it is fairing or hull, and don't want to

I purchased the owners manual, which has a diagram of the keel hull joint.
The diagram shows the keel bolts to be at an angle and not vertical. This
would make it tricky to raise the hull off the keel.
The bolts appear to be vertical when looking at them in the cabin. Can

Unfortunately, I had to haul Feya because of a leaking at the most aft keel
bolt. The surveyor at the yard has determined that the boat was grounded at
one time and there is at least one stringer that has separated from the
hull. ( I wish the surveyor for the purchase found this). When the hull is

It is amazing how water will find a way.

aft keel bolt is leaking. It is
