Working on my boat the other day I discovered a keel bolt I didn't know I had and wish I didn't. The boat is a '93 Beneteau 45F5 and is on the hard for the winter, the other bolts look fine and appear to be stainless in an iron keel. This bolt was hidden under a floor board near the mast and was under a couple of inches of water. Apparently rainwater from the mast collects in this area. I was thinking of replacing it before it gets worse. I generally do all work on my boat myself but I am afraid of rounding the head and creating a bigger mess. Should I take it on, leave it alone or hire a pro? Any advice appreciated, thanks.
