Now that you've torn into it, the Resto forum is a better place for this topic..

Which keel separation has a leaking rivet? Between the keel the bottom of the hull and the keel strip that rises up to the bow?

Or where the keel strip along the bottom of the hull has those gaps?

Make a splice plate and rivet it in. Drill the old ones out. Seal with .......?

How is the Lexal working out. I have used it on outdoor home projects and it seems to stick to anything.

In photo one of this thread you'll see it. Where the main keel meets the bow curve keel.
The leaking rivet is in another spot.

I like the Lexal. Much easier to work with than Sika-flex.
Time will tell how well it holds up.
Hoping to have as much luck as you!
