for it. At 200lbs, I would think that it would be a great deal
easier, even if you were to try to lift the keel into a pre-formed
pocket. But the way I did it does not involve jacking the boat way up
in the air which is impossible in my garage due to the electric door
closer being in the way.
I did check with a large T square to be sure that it is not set up
askew.
Good Luck with your project

Wonderful...I'm going to save it so I remember the procedure.
Any objection if I publish it to the Oldshoe builders group?...the Oldshoe
has a lead keed installed in a similar manner to that of Micro only it weighs

inspired boatbuilding. but it happens. . .
While listening to the sermon on Sunday, I figured out a quick a
clever way to get that darned 400 lb. lead keel in place. Today
after work, I tried it out and the keel is in place and ready for
sheathing and glass work. This makes the idea divinely inspired. I
may have to raise my church pledge if this continues.
1. I placed the keel flat on the starboard side of the cradle under
the boat.
2. I attached vertical 1.5" square posts from the port side of the
keel batten to the cradle. This serves to capture the keel as it is
lifted to its vertical state.
3. The keel is lifed with a hydraulic floor jack to vertical.
4. I temporarily secured more vertical posts on the starboard side
of the keel batten. The keel can't fall over, but can be slid fore
and aft.
5. The keel is positioned in place and screws from the port side to
the lead hold it in place while the starboard sheathing is drilled
and fit dry. Next to apply epoxy and nail it shut. the process is
repeated on the other side and then the whole assembly will be
sheathed with 6 oz. glass.
This whole process of lifting and positioning took under an hour with
no heavy labor.
