Morgan 30 Swing Keel Operation

[BobKat86]

We are refurbishing a 30' Morgan and are at the point of fixing the swing keel. Does anyone know where one can acquire cables for the swing keel operation for this vessel?
Any information would help.
Thanks.

I wonder if this crown could make the cable up. Surely it wouldn't be a big job?

Morgan didn't make a one-off part that you must find. Have you got the old one, such that you can duplicate it with cable and a swaging tool? Can you design your own?

I just wanted to send a quick thank you the information you passed on about the swing keel.

My husband was very happy to find the links you sent.

Thanks everybody for the quick responses and help.

No, it had crumbled apart completely.

Hi, we are working on our 1970 Morgan 28 and need help with the swing keel. What did you end up doing?

Bump. Just acquired a M30 from a retired merchant marine. Pretty clean boat, needs an update. The only corrosion I found was this pully wheel. What was the fix?
