Refairing Keel Hull Join... Bit of a gap!

Hey guys,
I'm looking for some advice on re-fairing the front of my Keel to Hull join, as you can see there isn't much sealant left there!

The keel is Cast Iron and is attached to the boat with 6 3/4'' Whitworth Studs wound in with a nut and washer inside the boat.
I replaced the keel studs early this year and the boat has not been in the water since so I know they are good!

I'm know to do it properly the keel needs to be rebedded, but can anyone recommend a way to sort it out for a season and I will do it next year.

Cheers
Rich



Oh and here's what a 30 year old keel bolt looks like:

Change them!
