Hi Josh,
Quick question which I've wrestled with in my mind - Why torque the keel bolts
on the hard? Since the keel will spend most of its time hanging from the
bottom of the boat in the water, isn't it better to torque the bolts in the
specific situation where the stresses will be applied?
Thanks for the insights, Bruce Whitmore

C&C smile. This is common where the lead keel meets the fiberglass keel stub.
First order of business is to torque/check of the keel bolts. This is done on
the hard. Then check for water ingress in the water. From the pictures it
looks like someone else already did some fill work.
Worst case scenario you'll have to drop the keel and re-bed.
Second to worst case is that you'll use some type of epoxy and filler and
fiberglass to patch a bandaid around the crack.
