Weeping Keel Bolt

04/05/2008 08:37

I have a weeping keel bolt (I think) under the engine, and I know I should take the negine out and replace the bolt, but I really want to go sailing this year. I strongly suspect that the bolt is leeking from its base in the keel. Is there any compound I can put around the recess for the bolt in the keel that will stop the weep for this season? Grease, filler of some sort....
