Getting the bilge keel off so can get to the rotten planks

Getting the nuts off the bolts holding the keel on

Some came off , others on the other hand did not and had to be cut off with an angle grinder 

They all came off and the keel did come off the bottom

The keel coming off with the add of a few hardwood wedges

Finally off and ready to put to one side while the planks are replaced
