Water seeping out of keel when hauled

[reverie]

I have some water seeping from a small hole when the boat is hauled. It is coming out of the fiberglass just above the lead keel. I have pumped the bilge. It is dry. The water continues to seep. Any suggestions???

Tell us more . . .

Any idea what kind of boat it is ??Where is the hole relative to the keel (forward, aft)?Is it a thru-hull or just some unexplained opening?

Keel joint

Standard stuff, not to worry. Could be the keel has disloged slightly from the hull. See how long it weeps. If it stops in a week, probably an easy fix by routing out and sealing. Ask your yard for an opinion, and check the Archives here as well.

Water seeping from keel

1986 C&C 33 Mark II. The water is seeping from a pin hole just above the keel and forward of the sump. I've had the boat out of the water for 5 days and still seeping. Also the sump was pumped dry. Bilge dry.Thanks for your help.

seeping water from keel

Thanks for the help. I have drilled it out a little and filled it. It is still dripping slightly. Less than before.
