...
I have a 1978 Chrysler 26 that has sat on a trailer for the last ten years
after being brought back up from Key West to my house in Pompano Beach. I
intend to re-fit the boat and put it back in the water and go sailing,
however, the 1300 pound drop keel seems to have expanded with rust inside
the trunk and it won't come down. I have put a large crowbar through the
cable hole that I expanded some by chipping out the cement. By beating on
the bar with a sledge hammer I only managed to shake the boat on the
trailer
some without any movement of the keel. I can't be the only one in the
world
with this problem so someone out there might have a solution for me. How
can
I get the keel free? Thanks in advance.

Up here, where we have cows, we use Whey instead of WD40.
If you leave metal sitting in Whey, it will actually eat the metal
completely away.
Not hazardous and easy to wash off.
Whey, is the byproduct, left over from making cheese.
Yes I'm a cheesehead from Wisconsin.
