I am a newbie so please bear with... I just aquired a 1978 29 foot Ericson
In the main cabin in the center (right after you walk down the stairs) their is a small square hatch in the floor. Upon lifting this access area there is what appears to be a rusted/corroded smooth mound with paint ontop of it. ?? Any ideas? I have visions of being lead poisoned as it is around where I would expect the keel to be. The engine is an atomic 4 in great working condition and is at least 4 feet in back of this "thing".
Thanks
