Leaky Keel

[Kiggsia]

My 1957 15 foot Crestliner Voyager has a leak at the joint where the keel meets the bend of the bow, as shown in attached picture. I want to caulk the part of the keel from inside the boat, trying to reach it under the riveted platform under the bow. What type of caulk should I use? But I hope I don't have to drill out the rivets and remove the platform.

rebuck the rivets (two people, one on the inside, one on the outside)

some 3M 4000 UV would work fine if you still have a leak after rebucking the rivets.
