I have about a 3' by 2'' spot on the keel worn to fibreglass. Just wondering if I can put gelcoat directly on the keel or do i need some type of sealer first. doesn't seem to be real bad just that the gelcoat is worn off. also it has some stone chips and was hoping i could sand them out any thoughts? thanks in advance

Re: keel repair

I agree.. sand with 80, clean and gel it.

Or..depending on the boat and budget slap a keel guard on the puppy.

YD.
