i have a leak around mine. will take on a bucket of water an hour. can they leak that much through the bolts, or is there likely something worse going on above?

and what is the best sealant/adhesive when i put them back in?

Hi Stephen.

You should call Catalina Direct Tech Support. The keel bolts thread into weldments which are glassed into place and should never leak, so if your leakage is indeed coming from the keel bolts, that is a potentially serious issue. CD Tech Support's number is 916-843-1971 and they are open Tu-Fr 10:00am to 5:00pm Pacific time.
