I own Triton 703, one of the last built. I've been following on You tube "Acorn to Arabella". the guys are building a 38' wooden sailboat. They cut up a Triton to get the lead keel to use in their boat. They saved all hardware. I believe it is for sale. It is bronze. My triton has aluminum...

I might use the stuffing box again, but the thru-hulls, since not installed, I'd replace with new marelon thru-hulls and valves. No electrolysis for one thing.

Next time out, try 3-4 wraps of a line at the bottom of the mast, it shouldn't slip and the angle will be improved; at no additional charge!

ahoy! I purchased a Lowrance HDS7 chartplotter/fishfinder at the Defender sale. I'm getting baffled at which transducer to get for it and the best place to install it. I removed the old (original) one which was on the centerline thru 3" of fiberglass directly below the v-berth insert. Any sugge...
