The past couple of years I noticed a weeping keel when the boat was hauled in October, which really bothered me.  After reading through the various posts on this forum, I decided to take the plunge (literally) and dig out the old foam from the keel.  Tough job but finished up today.  I will have a light shining in the keel for the next four months to dry it all out.  My plan is to add epoxy/fiberglass around the rudder shoe as well as the rudder strap pins followed by either epoxy foam or a high density polyurethane foam.  

Thanks to all of the input on this site which guided me to take the appropriate corrective action to remedy this problem.
