Do NOT epoxy over the keel bolts. The surveyor needs to be keelhauled for that idea. Sealed stainless = corrosion AND how the &&&& would you ever be able to tighten them or inspect them ever again?
Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Brien Sadler via CnC-List Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 1:19 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Brien Sadler Subject: Stus-List Mast boot and keel bolts I'm sure both of these topics have been covered before, but A) any suggestions on keeping the little bit of water that drips down the mast from coming in at all? I'd like to seal it up completely (old submariner habit of trying to keep all the water out of the people tank.) B) When I had the boat surveyed the surveyor wrote that the keel bolts need to be sealed which I assume means prepping and then pouring epoxy into the bilge until the bolts are covered. Has anyone done this on a 35-3 or do you know what the ramifications are if I leave them exposed. It doesn't seem to be impacting anything right now but as with anything exposed to sea water it will eventually. Thanks for helping a newbie out. Brien S/V TAZ 1987 C&C 35-3
