> With the keel located precisely where it's supposed to be, the pressure of
the water being forced up into the keel trunk is dissipated evenly so it
doesn't leak. On some boats, it's focused in one small area by the position
of the keel and it causes leaks.

This might explain why my boat only leaked when I neglected to put the bolts
in? I since have filled in the holes, caulked the top, which has knocked it
down to "almost never" (I have no hold downs) but now I'm thinking about
getting the thing "precisely" lined up and drilling the holes back in.
Whatcha think? (I guess I can fill the holes back in again if that doesn't
work!)
