Look for the keel and lock down bolts at Blue Water Yachts. You may have to call them. Go to "photobucket.com" and look up the "sailingaz" account and see what my keel looked like (exactly like yours except on a V25). Just make sure that if you have any filler (used for fairing) that rust has not gotten under it. If it has you'll need to remove the fairing material and clean to bare metal as I did. My boat had always been in salt water when I bought it. After I removed rust and filler, I painted three coats of POR15, the faired the shape with RestoGrip and Rage fillers, then four additional coats of POR15. I also used the POR15 primer both on the bare metal and after reshaping with the fillers before applying the paint.
