I recently had a mild leak repaired on the inside portion of my swing keel pivot area only to discover afterward that there's still a small trickle of a leak still present (negligble for day or weekend sailing but not for long term berthing in water). The repair crew informed me that they think the leak is entering from the outside pivot area as nothing else can be seen entering through the repaired area. They suggested they wouldd drop the keel come winter time and repair it again with a price tag under $500.00. While I trust these guys explicitely due to their good service, does anyone think this should be my next and final course of action?
