i thought that i would change the keel eyebolts this winter on my 4 year old 285

with a special tool made with a T handle the bolt came out easily so easy in fact that i thought that it had sheared off

It was only about 1 in long but complete,

Could any one explain the engineering behind a heavy keel being held by such a short bolt.

I was a bit surprised?

thanks
