Hi There,

I'm looking to get some opinions on how to treat some bulging around one of
my keel bolts. It is symmetrical and I believe it is from a small amount of
water intrusion around the bolt and then freezing during the winter. The
recommendation from the marina was to drill holes into the bulge and drain
and then fill with epoxy and hammer it in so that it drives deep into the
gaps. And then remove the keel nuts in the bilge and epoxy around the bolt
base to fill any gaps and prevent further intrusion.

Anyone else have this problem? What did you do and was it effective?

Thanks,
