KEEL & Bottom work!

Going north (150 nm) Nicaragua next week to pull her out on a type of Marine rail... they block the boat with big rubber wedges? We'll see?
Any ideas on hull & keel work (can not remove keel).
What is Keel Nut wrench (socket) size for Ericson 38 1982?
Leaking about 6" every 6 hours, from being bounced on bottom by high surf (long story).
THANKS

I have a 1989 e38-200 and mine takes a 1.5” socket on all but the aftmost which takes a 1.125” socket. Double check but I’d think yours is same

Sounds like the E38-200 uses 1" keel bolts -- same as my E32-3. No wonder when I dropped the keel out everyone at the yard gasped, "those things are huge!"

sounds like your E32 is well endowed.

Looks like an old repair in there. Have isolated the leak to this keel area? Is the laminate cracked in the bilge?
