Sealing keelbolts or filling the holes with anyting is more likely to
accelerate crevice corrosion. Any attempts to protect keelbolts needs to
center around keeping them bone dry. You sure do not want to seal in, or
encapsulate any moisture!

Wow! My boat had this but nowhere near as pronounced. It shows itself as a
pink “ooze” coming out of a couple of minor blisters below the keel-hull joint.
I have been putting about 3 gallons of antifreeze in the bilge each winter to
prevent any water that gets in the bilge from freezing,
YIKES!
Glad my boat is only out of the water in August.
It seems to me one could benefit from undoing the keel bolts, removing the
backing plates, and pouring thinned epoxy down each keel bolt to seal up the
voids.
