Hi all,

I need to replace the pintle (?) on the end of the keel that the rudder heal fitting sits on. problem is i cant work out how it was originally fitted thus I cant decide which bit to hit / twist / drill to get it off.

has anyone encountered this type of fitting before, any ideas how it might have been made?

the underside of the keel, this could be the filler over the head of the after-most keel bolt, or it could be aligned with the end of the pin....
