My keel bolts on my Catalina 27 are looking rather shabby (the original nuts have practically rusted off). Catalina Direct sells a Keep Bolt Retrofit kit for installation for a lead keel. Included are five 8 long, 1/2 diameter lag bolts of 316 stainless, and an extra long 18 drill. The price is $279.95.
