The bolts are vertical. After you lift the boat, cover the bilge, and flush each of the bolt holes from underneath the boat, using a hose. Mine had a terrible smell. There was also a very large void around the forward keel bolt. It was so large that it took about a gallon of epoxy to fill it. Before remounting the keel, the yard ground the bottom of the stub and the top of the keel, and epoxied them together. Then they epoxied one or two layers of fiberglass cloth to the smile. It's been more than ten years, and the smile has never returned.
