If you saw that the tip of the keel, the bottom was rough and not looking good, it sounds like a case of grounding = damaged fiberglass sump.
Of course the water can not travel into the lead part of the keel. If you can see the water coming in trough the laminate, it is coming from outside. If it comes from the hollow stringers, look for leaks from other sources as well as suggested by others. The good news is that the 33 mk ii has no balsa core in that area, so fairly simple to repair. A friend of my who has a 35 mkiii had a small leak in the sump via a small crack. He then found upon inspection that the cored hull around the keel was saturated with water. Very extensive and expensive repair to rebuild the whole area.

Wolford Subject: Re: Stus-List 1985 C&C 33 Bilge Issue 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. From: Raymond Macklin via CnC-List<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Monday, May 07, 2018 9:32 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Raymond Macklin<mailto:ray.mack...@gmail.com> Subject: Stus-List 1985 C&C 33 Bilge Issue Hello: It is that time of season for the big Splash. 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?
