Hey yall Ive been working on this project boat 26' outer reef. I pulled the motor apart and what was once dead lives again. While replacing the packing I thought it be a good time to clean out the junk in the keel. There was layers of sediment almost rock like. I was chipping away uncovering fishing weights fossilized in this crap I noticed a bolt in the bottom and next to it was a filled hole missing a bolt. It was seeping water and ofcourse i messed with it and the seeping increased. also i noticed that was not the only place water was coming in. The rear most part of the keel under the shaft as its exiting is leaking water. I could not get a good look at it. I am pulling it out of the water in a few weeks but im kicking my self right now for removing all that crap cause it was sealing the leaks. anyone have any idea of whats going on.
