Here is the reply I got back from the factory.... ______________ You're on the right track. First, it was never our intention to install anything other than high-grade stainless steel fasteners in any of the boats that we have produced. Is it possible that a lower grade stainless, or even a steel nut or washer could have been mixed in with our stainless fasteners? The answer is yes, it is possible, however, as stated it was never our intention. Second, the forward keel bolt is virtually inaccessable with the mast step in place. It sounds like the mast step is in need of replacement anyway. We have no reports of any failures or problems with the keel mounting of the 9.1. The 9.1 Association is an excellent source of information on repairs that your boat may need, they can be reaced on the internet at www.s291.com. |
