Happy New Year! We're hoping to get some insights on an issue we are having
with our keel. We recently had our 25 MKII hauled for some winter projects
and were surprised to see that the keel "wiggled" when the boat was on the
travel lift, a little bit laterally.

I've uploaded some photos of the keel and the keel bolts
<https://photos.app.goo.gl/TVsmhMAwwJUQEEee8>. Here are some observations:
1) No signs of weeping from the keel joint and no visible separation when
lifted from the stands.
2) None of the keel bolts (3 in total) leak.
3) Crack at the aft end doesn't look typical of the C&C smile based on
internet searches.

Should we torque the keel bolts, grind out the crack, fill (G-flex?), fair,
and paint, or is this beyond a "smile" fix?

Thanks!
Stephen
