Perhaps the best fix for the C&C smile is to separate and properly re-mate the
keel and stub, but this is obviously a big job. I have been told that the
reason C&C smiles are so common is that they did not do a great job with this
aspect of production. Sounds right to me. Not sure if fixing it is worth the
expense.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Keel treatment
Watching this thread with interest. Currently have 6,000 lbs of exposed lead
(yes, not safe or ideal…) sitting in a cradle in the yard. FWIW, a former owner
of “Ronin” sliced off the top layer of below waterline gelcoat and recoated
everything with epoxy. And apparently the keel was dropped during this process.
What is interesting is that epoxy was used when the keel was bolted back up…
Best,

Neill, I've always wetsanded the lead with West Systems epoxy. Then sanded
for tooth and applied bottom paint. No issues so far.

Richard,
I'm dealing with exactly the same issue, had the bottom soda blasted to
bare lead and what's left of my gelcoat. I called Interlux about this, their
tech rep recommended Interprotect 2000E on both the hull and the lead. For the
lead he recommended thinning the first coat 15%-20% with their 2333N thinner so
it will flow into the cracks, as some of my keel's a bit rough. Then you can
fair it and build it up with more barrier coat (the 2000E).

To the group; I have removed all of the old bottom paint and some old
faring compound from my keel and it is now down to bare lead; what should I use
for a sealant/primer on the bare metal, before putting on a barrier coat, and
what is the best method for application? I have also taken the hull to gelcoat
and plan to put on a barrier coat and new bottom paint...any other ideas...?
Many thanks...

Seem to be loosing some fuel. The tank is good. There is no leak from
the tank to the primary filter. It then goes to the engine. No leak there.
Pardon my ignorance but there is a round attachment with a gasket on the top
that seems to be leaking. There are some small screws? bolts? holding it down.
It seems to be oozing from there. Can I tighten them leaving everything
together or do I need to take the mixing elbow off?
