Anyone happen to remember what size and length the bolts are that attach the mast to the mounting plate? I seem to have misplaced mine while moving to our new house. :(

It's not just the weight that makes them pull harder. The extra keel adds twice the surface area for resistance in the water. With the extra keel you can pull 3 lead cores or 2 coppers like they were deep divers. Run a lot tighter at slower speeds and while turning ad well. We'll worth the add!

The half keels became popular when people found out that 2 full keels with weights sink at slow speeds, so Big Jon started making special order half keels. The extra weight is not absolutely neccessary  but it does work better.
