In Response To: how are you thinking of using it? (Seth Dabney, 2023-C, Oxford, MS)

My origional thoughts were to just secure the bushing into the keel itself with just a small amount protruding out each side to act like a spacer. That would be a whole lot easier than having to carve out the pin section on the hull.
After mounting the bushing on the swing keel, I then put the new bar through and re secure the bar to the hull. In re securing the pin, I'd use a stainless muffler clamp, or the likes, to hold the bar really good and tight, then finish it off nice and smooth.
If another good idea came up, I'd might switch.
Sea you, George E. Norkus
