I just exposed one of the
keel bolts on my 1975
Islander 28. It was covered with what I assume was
epoxy, more like rust
oil residue. Flaking that off the bolt and nut are show here. Some of the thread distortion is
camera angle, it was a hard shot, but there is erosion of the bolt to some degree giving it a slightly concave shape, while still having intact threads more or less.
Is this something to worry about? I just had a diver look at the
keel and there is no visible 'simile'.
What should I use to re-seal this and is there any particular technique? Any
advice, I have never done this before. Thanks in advance!
