Hi, Most Iron keels weep rust marks and I think the only long term solution is a grit blast followed immediately with an epoxy treatment, the weep from the...
If you can't waggle the keel about I wouldn't get too hung up about it. Cast iron keels weep rust as fact of life, they won't wither away altogether in your...
