Keeling Procedure
5.8.7
Wrap keel bolts with caulking cotton and apply PRC-5000
(Nauti-calk may be substituted for PRC-5000) to the bolts on the
inside of the boat.
5.8.8
Place keel bolt back-up channel over bolts and tighten keel by
using a flat washer, lock washer, and nut on each bolt. Nuts
should be tightened with a 16" lever arm.
5.8.9
The Furane Eipbond 150 A/B has a three hour working life. Be sure to
fill the gap between the hull pocket and the keel and clean all
excess Epibond 150 A/B within three hours. The boat should not be
put in the water before the 72 hour cure has been completed.
5.8.10
The Epibond 150 A/B should be sanded smooth and fair to blend the
hull and the keel and repainted with Intergard 4424/4423 Primer over
any spots where the sanding has cut through to the bare metal.
5.8.11
The only anti-fouling bottom paint that can be used on boats
whose keels have been finished in accordance with this
procedure is International Tri-Lux T.B.T.O. anti-fouling
bottom paint.
