Are you certain it is a sea water leak? If 'yes' then you need to find the crack or hole in the hull/keel joint and have that fixed. Even if the keel bolt was missing there should be no way that water could enter the cavity. I would suggest a thorough inspection of the hull/keel joint and if there is any sign of a crack or opening the boat will need to be hauled for repair.
