Hi Harry,

I know I'm a bit late to this topic, but I am still with Brian, and his earlier post on your stuck keel.  As you are having repeated problems with water coming in, I think the only way you'll achieve a lasting result is to get the keel plate out. Then you should be able to see where the problem really is and get a proper permanent repair done.
