You won't seal the mast exits, masthead sheaves openings, etc. you you'll
still get water down the mast. However, to seal the mast collar, wrap
silicone self fusing tape around it and fill the slot with LifeSeal. See:

No need to walk the plank, it’s the old Valiant 40s that glassed the keelbolts.

have had frozen water in my bilge every winter I have owned the boat and it has
not caused any problems that I know of. I rationalize this as an effect of

Freezing is a valid concern. If storing on the hard, many people have

It is easy to mistake mast leakage into the bilge as keel bolt leakage.
There are also plenty of other water tanks that leak and can mislead you
into thinking that the bolts are leaking. If after all of the
investigation reveals that they are in fact leaking, the only right way to
correct the prob
Rob,
Thanks for the response. The surveyor didn't make a recommendation at all
on how to "seal" them. The nuts are exposed and I have no signs of water
intrusion in or out of the bilge through the keel bolts (i.e. damp line

You can have a mast boot sealed with a good tape and put a little bead
of caulking/silicone etc. in the mast trackthat show solve that
problem however you will never keep all the water out from the mast
sheaves, etcthere will always be a drip inside the mast in a rain.

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
