Hi - I just turn the key by hand 60 degrees. The keyholder hole plate is
in the middle of the drop weight. The bronce nut Plate secure the system 
tight to the keel plate were are some rubber cusionsplates are to
prevent contact corrosion. Key System is sealed by an o-ring. Down end
of the key is stronger in diameter -- so if the key break's it can not
move into the sub..

Each plate made from 1 ts steel and hot galanzied has only one single
key - and I have three system - 3ts all together.
