Skip, taking a break from the bolt

===

I'm trying to remember how you got to this unfortunate state of
affairs with the broken bolt.

You have a skeg hung rudder which needs to be dropped to repair the
shaft and bearing?

The skeg has a bottom plate extending under the rudder, and the broken
bolt attaches the bottom plate to the skeg?

Nothing is ever easy on a boat, especially one which has been aged a
bit.


Right on all counts - see "Phew" above :{))

I've just spent the last couple of hours with a magnifying headset, going
through all of my remaining (and spares, of which I found I have a
plethora - just not the ones I broke in this exercise!) bits and with a
borrowed power sharpener, dressing up all of the ones which had ever been
used.
