This entire posting was quite timely for me and the boat yard where I had to take it to repair a small leak that was filling up the keel. It turned out to be a leaking shaft chute that was embedded in the fiber glassed member that mounts the stuffing box. The boat yard manager reviewed this posting and after yanking out the SS chute, which was severely corroded, also recommended a fiberglass replacement.
That work is being done as I speak at considerable expense but I had no choice and the boat yard is fortunately quite professional and credible. I surmise that most Taiwan Tubs will eventually run into this repair so, be prepared for a hefty charge and a long time on the hard. I will post the details once the job is complete.

Yes, the yard finally decided that a fiberglass option was not the best and reinstalled a stainless steel tunnel. It meant boring out the entrance to the keel and installing a new stuffing box. All had to be fiberglassed in and aligned with the transmission. Quite elaborate and I could not have done it myself. Very costly as well but I had little choice. Yard rates are $120 per hour in the SF Bay Area so you can imagine the bill when it was done.

Bet you didn’t sit down for quite a while after getting that bill... Amazing how it adds up.

Had a hard time convincing the Admiral that this was more important than a trip around the world.
At the yard I saw boats that required repairs that cost more than $100K. Even small sailboats that need costly upgrades that exceeded the value of the craft. Boaters are a generous bunch when it comes to fixing their floating pleasure.
