Refinishing the keel on a C22
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2014 7:15 pm
Hello,
The keel on our C22 is pretty rusty. I am thinking about dropping it out of the boat on a cradle which I will make. It appears that I will need to jack up the boat on the trailer and then lower it on to the cradle and then wheel it out to be sand blasted. I presume that I will need to use epoxy or urethane? What filler should I use to smooth the surface. I have some red epoxy used for motor and high voltage laminations. Any other ideas or threads? With all the ice on the lake, it appears that I have a month to get this done. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
B
