The holes in mine have since been filled in, I am assuming that the yard did a reasonable repair, however before this winter I intend to drill a hole into the hull liner to make sure there is no water in there, if there is and it freezes, that would be really bad. I am also tempted to drill a hole in the bottom of the keel and see if any water comes out. The damage that could be done by water freezing in the keel or between the hull and hull liner is a lot worse then just repairing two 1/4 inch holes, I also feel that is the only way I can be sure the repair was done and there are no more leaks.
If you have a chunk missing from your keel and if your boat is out of the water, I imagine most of the water has come out. Before attempting a repair yourself you will want to make sure that the area is completely dry. If you bring your boat to a yard for the repair I am sure they will make sure everything is completely dry before repairing it. --Chad On Sep 29, 2008, at 10:26 AM, Andrei Caldararu wrote: > I see.
