The bottom of the keel should be all lead and will have nothing to do with water entering the bilge. Sounds like you may have a leak that’s running into the bilge from somewhere else. Suggest checking all thru-hull fittings, hoses, clamps, etc.

I have run into an issue since I put it in the water. My bilge pump is running continuously. I took a close look and I am noticing the water is seeping in from the walls of the bilge. Prior to launching I took a real close look at the keel. I saw no issues, no smile, nothing. The only part I did notice was the very bottom of the keel. Since the keel rests on the bottom of the cradle, I cannot do much inspection prior. This time I happen to see it while on the lift. I was not a smooth like the sides of the keel. In fact it was not good at all. Does that sound right. I see now water coming from any other area. Anybody have an recommendations on what to do?
