Swing Keel pin questions

Post by EricBerg »

Hi folks.
I intend on checking the swing keel pin on my "new to me" C-26. Any advice? What is the housing faired with? Putty, fibreglass? Is the pin stainless, will I have a hassle getting it out? Any advice will be welcomed. I plan on changing the cable at the same time. Dimensions of the shackle would be helpful.

Thanks in advance, Eric in Sioux Falls

Eric,
Cruise over to :

Click on "how to" on the left, and you'll see a couple of good articles called "Fabrication and Replacement of the Chrysler 26 Swing-Keel Bracket" and "How to Repair Your Swing Keel Cable".
Step 4 of the latter lists the parts you'll need to make the cable.
