Sounds daft, trip to plumbers merchant or B&Q go play with some plumbing fittings. They are not always obvious how they work.
I would be tempted to bight the bullet and take off the hoses, take the fitting off clean and re seat the whole fitting, with liberal amounts of PTFE. Then you could always put something under it and wait till the winter.
For your rusty keel bolt, I would suggest light wire brush then Fertan. Might take a couple of efforts but it will stop the rust.
