[C320-list] weeping fin bolts in bilge

[Joe Abbagnaro]

Just to clarify your Keel boats are leaking ?
In front of the floor board that is removeable you can also remove
the forward floor board to expose more keel bolts are these also leaking.
I belive you can also remove the aft floor board and expose additional
keel bolts
in this location

How fast is it leaking, or how often does it triger the bilge pump.
Dry out the bilge and see if the other bolts are also leaking.

I am not sure if there is a sealer that goes around the bolts maybe
someone else may have
more knowledge in this area

A startling wake up call!  Has anyone come across this, and is there a cure?  We operate in very deep water so are pretty sure that we didn't hit anything.  And certainly not in reverse.
