Keel Strap Corrossion

Basically disintegrated when I touched it. Is this a serious issue?

Re: Keel Strap Corrossion

Welcome to the forum, SunHarvester.

Is that the bonding strap for the keel? If so, yes, it's part of your anode protection against below the waterline corrosion. Definitely replace it.

If you happen to be new to anode protection, Nigel Calder's books will help:
