I have a golfball size chunk out of the leading edge of a keel boat about 3ft up from the bottom of the keel and 3ft. down from the boat. How should I fix this? What specific products should I use?

Thanks,
Mike Hill


If this is a monohull, you will need to fix this by sinking the boat - use lead or a good hole saw. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Seriously though, what's the keel made of? Is it a keel/fin that's made of lead? You can solder lead back in to fill the chunk. Otherwise, if the spot is stable, you might think about filling it with Bondo - but it sounds like a pretty big hole for that.
