Thanks,

I Would simply contact Beneteau directly. Give them the year, model and serial number. They’ll give the info.

Pulled these off Beneteau Spare Parts website: https://spareparts.beneteauusa.com/c...action=accueil

That makes sense...however some keel bolts are actually not removable, they are welded to a frame inside the lead casting.

I think Beneteaus have cast iron keels so maybe the bolts are screwed in and removable.
Anyway, good luck with that.

Thanks everyone for your help. Ward was responsive and the SC staff were helpful on the phone. I have new bolts on their way and the keel pit booked for two weeks out.

Since Beneteau closed the Marion SC it has been difficult to get any help. I was recently i
at South Coast Yachts in San Diego, CA and they filled me in. They are a Beneteau dealer and have service and some parts and were very helpful.

How did you go? - were you successful with your quest - as we are searching for the same details!

Here is a document that I got before I changed the bolts on my Oceanis 390. It might help you.

Thanks for the document - interesting read and will prove useful for background in my keel bolt education course.
Much appreciated - apologies if this is a repeat thanks.
