I did g-flex on the keel joint year before last.   Pleasantly surprised at haul 
out last fall.  

 

I plan to pull the mast the end of this season and torque the bolts.  Hoping I 
don’t have to redo the keel joint…again.  

 

So far, I’m a fan.

G-Flex is my go to - it's inexpensive and comes in a caulking gun cartridge.

I used it to cover my keel joint before adding fairing compound and bbottom 
paint. Fairing Compound doesn't seal water very well so you need something 
strong and a little flexible. This is my first time using it below the 
waterline but west systems says it works so I went with it.

Hauled out today for a quick bottom job. Yard suggested fibreglass for the 
crack, but then there’s also G-Flex. Epoxy and fairing could be an option but 
that would add on to the project. Any success or opinions on one or the other? 
It’s a minor smile, no torquing keel bolts at dropping anything.
