Posted By: Marc Jared Date: 9/1/09 7:43p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines I just checked out Greg's Keel Stuff page. I forgot to check the replies to my post dated 7-23-09. My question is how will the composite bushing perform as apposed to a hardened steel bushing or some other material? I'm assuming Greg's pivot bolt was 5/8". Where can I purchase a composite bushing should I decide to go that route? Thanks, Marc.
