Well, now I have another project.. I was planning to recoat my keel anyway. I never thought of shims until I found this video. Great idea and I will definitely do this when the keel comes out before next spring. 🙂 Thanks for posting this video. 👍

Thanks Mike. I’m looking for a sailboat. Pocket cruiser, lake size. You made that repair look like something even I could do.

Great video , I'm just about to recondition my keel on Jaguar 22 which is the Uk version of the Catalina. Your information on the shims will be very useful. Many thanks.

Nicely done Matthew. My keel doesn't need shims, so I will refer people to your video if they ask.

Really excellent filmmaking. I have a Laguna Windrose. It is a poor man's catalina. My keel pivot bolts were glassed over. Probably some previous owner couldn't get it to stop leaking. So I can't inspect the bolt and that leaves me worried, because is does hang slightly sideways. If I cut into the glass, who knows what I would find (Can't get parts for this boat)

What was the process of sanding and painting the Keel? What primer, what paint, .....? Thank you! I just purchased my 22 and am starting with the keel.

I went to Harbor freight and bought cheap sanding pads (40,60,80 grit) but I bought a good Dewalt electric sander and it’s not a bad idea to get a good vacuum system to collect the paint directly from the sander. I used the Pettit system with their epoxy barrier coat and their paint, and I followed the application instructions to the letter.

Great video. I couldn't find the keel shim kit in the Catalina 22 portal. Do you remember how is it listed?

Strange update here... It looks like CatalinaDirect has taken the photo away and raised the price of the shims. I bought them last year for $40 bux.. they're now $60. www.catalinadirect.com/shop-by-boat/not-a-catalina/trailerable-boats/keel-centering-spacer-kit-c-22/

@@RoundABoutStudio Thanks for your quick replay. I saw that Item. I was not sure if it was the same shims you used. Thanks so much.

Does this work on most keels. Is it Catalina specific ? I have a Mcgregor 24 ft Venture.

I think this would work on any keel. You just have to fit it.
