Clive, the video of the keel is very helpful even though it seems to confirm you cannot remove the the ram shaft to keel cotter pin from the top of the keel box. Looks like it has to be removed by cutting in to the side of the box and reglassing. I'll leave this on your blog if I may for comments from anyone else who might have successfully tackled this problem. Mine has inspection covers on the side of the box as if this has been done before or maybe it was the original installation of the keel and ram. Will email photos of this. Chris
