I have a 25 swing keel stored on a trailer. I'm getting a fair amount of water in the bilge after rain and while on the water. I suspect some of the water might be entering through some combination of swim ladder, rudder mount or motor mount bolts. I'd like to rebed this hardware.
Question: Is it a fool's errand to try to do this? For example, the ladder is on the port side. From the port side cockpit locker I can see the outboard (i.e., left) bolts, but I'm not sure I can get a wrench on them. I haven't tried contorting myself to find the inboard side bolts.
Is it possible to access these bolts with out cutting an access hole through the transom in the fuel locker area?
Advice, suggestions welcome.
