leak into hull from bilge keels
Can anyone suggest a way to stop leakage through narrow gaps between
an iron keel shoe and a bilge keel? The gaps are relative short (a centimetre or three), and possibly the result of long-term (thirty years) corrosion of the upper surface of the keel shoe where it rests against the bottom of the GRP bilge keel. The leakage water appears to travel upwards through the hollow bilge keels and thence through the GRP hull itself to appear as sweat in one location and a puddle in another. The previous owner possibly had the problem some fifteen years ago because some hard-setting cement compound appears to have been applied to the keel-shoe interface. The compound is gradually being lost, or becoming ineffective I guess a fifteen-year solution would suit me, the question is - how to go about it. |
