on the keel of my old fiberglass boat i have some gouges, not so bad it is going to leak water, but i would still like to repair it.
they are about a 1/4" wide, and just 1/8" or less deep.

what should i do to repair it? i would like it to have a smooth finish when im done. but dont want to spend much money at all doing it.

bondo? fiberglass mat with resin? just resin?

will the resin be thick enough as the damage is on the bottom side of the boat? i didnt think about that until now, im afraid the resin may just drip down.
