One thing I did a while back that has served me well was to find the portion of the keel with the most scratch marks and put a coat of JB weld on it.
The JB weld ends up taking the abuse and as it wears down, put another coat on.
Glad you found that thin spot before Mother Nature did Dave.

This is a great idea.  I did something similar, then reinforced the areas by adding fiberglass skidplates.

JB has a product called "water weld" that is supposed to be completely waterproof and even cure underwater.
