Does anyone have chb haulout pics of rudder and keel
Something bad happened during haulout... My lower piece off the keel that supports the rudder disappeared... I need pics to see how to fabricate a new support.

Those were two different questions. Yachtworld lists CHB single engine trawlers from 34 to 41 feet. Which one?

Now I am thinking of adding some kind of support to ours when we pull this Fall. Any suggestions? Steel plate on either side thru-bolted, maybe? One up from the bottom?

Perfect guys! I will be adding a 18 inch piece of 316 stainless channel probably 3/8 thick with a bronze block for the rudder pivot. Was think polyurethane but not sure how it would hold up to the salt... Any insights?

To add interest here this is what Willard did. The shoe is a robust bronze casting that has a lip or flange on the top of the fwd part on the inbd side. There is a matching grove in the deadwood/keel that fits the shoe. A bolt at the fwd end keeps the shoe from sliding out or back.
To remove tear out the bedding, raise the rudder a bit, take out the retaining bolt and slide the shoe out.
The shoe of course is bullet proof but is dependent on the structural integrity of the deadwood. That seems very stout and I've not heard of any troubles there w the many other Willards on the Willard Boat Owners Group (Yahoo).

Very cool. My keel is
Square and no way to groove it without extensive fabricating. Im almost thinking about shoeing my whole keel with stainless.

30 Foot Lein Hwa Seahorse. I had a Lehman 120hp. After much research found that 1600-1750 is the ideal cruise rpm. It did burn 1.5-2gph depending on headwind or following sea. I know have the Ford Dover 143hp. It gets the same economy, easier to work on, same footprint, same motor mounts with adjustment, utilize same guages. The Ford Dover also gave me an extra 2kts of speed. I am able to throttle back on the Ford Dover @ 1400 rpm and maintain a 7-8 kts cruise speed.
I too am consdering shoeing with stainless the majority of the keel (widest sections).
Good luck on your trip south! Take a parts cruise kit for your Lehman. American Diesel or Bomac Marine are good sources.

Be aware of SS and bronze together - potential galvanic corrosion.

Read with interest your issue with broken skeg. I have a MT 34, after being laid up for the winter skeg has cracked open from ice within. Do you know what material is inside the encased skeg. I can drill into it from the bottom, seems to be SS running on both sides, cannot drill through. I've completed a repair to allow use of the boat this summer but will have to remedy situation when boat is hauled out in fall. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

I had a similar situation last summer when I struck a submerged object. I am searching for repair pics. I had marina in Cape Charles fabricate a new rudder and skeg extension from stainless steel.
