Hi Tim
I'd pull the cabin sole and see if the floor grid is still well attached
to the hull at the turn of the bilge, I'm guessing on the port side it
is not.

Hello all 35-3 owners - I'm looking for some advice, especially from
those who have re-habbed their keels on this model...
I was checking on Mojito this morning, and noticed beads of moisture
in two areas; a spot at the top of the keel trailing edge and an
8" hairline crack on the port side at hull / keel stub (almost exactly
where the mast step is internally). Would this have been enough for
you to go ahead with major keel surgery?
Rear of keel
I've been trying to resolve this for a while; two separate boat yards
have had a go at if, and the area is now solid fiberglass / epoxy, but
still a tiny crack / area of moisture. There was water in the bilge
just aft of the rear keel bolt (I removed the floorboards and sponged
the area dry). Water would not normally stay in that area, but the
boat is tilted back a little on the stands. I have not had the keel
bolts torqued in 7 years (since I bought Mojito).
Mast Step area
This is the first year I've noticed moisture in that area; there have
been hairline cracks in the antifouling before. The mast is stepped
and I can't access that area through the mast step, which appears sound.
Thanks,
Tim
