In my case I am sure the skeg made noise as it departed but the sound of ripping and tearing glass drowned it out. :oops:

I've finished the repair to the keel rub. :D Will see how the Keel Guard fairs on my roller trailer! :doh: It is straight although it doesn't appear to be in the pic - just the angle!

Image

Seven years of accumulated Northern Territory red dirt on the trailer is pretty obvious. Maybe I'll get under there with the pressure washer. A job for winter 2024 - put the boat on hard stand and dress the bottom!

Next job for now - lift the motor off, install new house batteries and service a couple of pumps!

Why are you needing to pick the motor off?

Good question! :D

Under the rear casting deck I have:
Three batteries (Start and 2 x house)
Three pumps (for the 2 livewells plus 1x aerator
Three chargers (AC mains to 12v DC, 12v DC to 12v DC, 12v DC to 32v DC)
Four master switched
Two sea cocks

Its a bit crowded in there!

I can get at most of it from the front but its a bit of a hassle. I can't get at the two livewell pumps from there.

Fortunately I have a panel at the rear that I can access from the motor-well and remove.

I have an engine crane and a motor lift ring, so remove 4 x bolts and pull the motor out of the way without disconnecting anything is the easiest way to go. :D

I'll take some pics!

OK - so you were right! Keelguard needs to come off! :D

Just wondering, could you just use a shorter keelguard to protect the bow in front of the roller ?
