I had a problem similar to Jake's. When the boat was out of the water, I could wiggle the keel from side to side. There was also the C&C smile. We dropped the keel, and flushed out the forward keel bolt hole from below. Horrible smell, like Jake experienced. The yard ground the top of the keel and the stub, remounted the keel using thickened epoxy, and filled the void around the forward keel bolt with about a gallon of epoxy. The yard also made square washers that were thicker on the forward edge than the aft edge so that round washers laid perpendicular to the keel bolts. Finally, they epoxied a strip of fiberglass cloth around the keel-stub joint. It's been five or more years, and no problems have reappeared.
