Author	Topic:   Chip on keel
Keith Silliman	posted 10-30-2000 04:40 PM ET (US)      While preparing my 2000 Montauk for winter storage, I noticed a small chip or nick on the keel, towards the bow (just forward of the drain for the anchor locker). It is a slight nick. Is this something I should worry about? If so, what is the suggested remedy? Thanks
