Hello there ! My name is Raven and me and my husband just purchased our own Freedom 35 kat-Ketch with a swing keel . But we ran into some repair issues. All the swing keel pulleys are seized and rotted through . We want to replace them but are having a really difficult time locating replacements . Anyone have and links or know anyone who could help ?

Hello Raven,
That’s exciting news about your Freedom 35 ketch! I’m sorry to hear you’re running into issues right away, though.
My name is Barbara, and helping people like you with exactly these kinds of repair issues is my job. As a shipwright, repairing, maintaining, and restoring vessels is what I do for a living.
Seized and rotted keel pulleys are a common problem, especially in older boats. Locating exact OEM replacements can often be tricky or impossible.
Where is it located?
