Hi Kevin

I have just dropped the keel and checked the bolts on my fixed keel Sonata, the thread size is 3/4 inch Whitworth, I didnt measure the length as mine are in perfect condition but I guess they are around 4 inches in length, I would suggest that you take one out and check it, mine are all in “as new” condition after 32 years despite getting a little water ingress from the hull/keel joint.

Hope this helps

Regards

Chris
