Wow. Thanks for the pic. I didn't realize it would be bedded that deeply. It is amazing how water will find a way. I was able to tighten and use WaterWeld, as suggested, but unfortunately, the strut was not the major contributing factor to the water intrusion. The aft keel bolt is leaking. It is curious as to why there are 10 stainless washers on that bolt. PO said she had the keel rebed 5 years ago, and that is what they did. Maybe they tightened it too much, and sheared it from the lead keel? I am having it hauled this coming week to have a pro take a look. It may be beyond my pay grade at this point.
Happy 4th!

It took several hours to carefully chip away all the fairing bog. Once it was unearthed, it came off cleanly. https://i.imgur.com/25d8P0v.jpg Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC
