While my mast is down, I took off the teak casing on the compression post and jabbed the wood underneath with a screwdriver and found this
The top few inches is dry, but rotten. Strangely there is no sign of sagging around the mast step.
Can I just chainsaw off the top 6 inches and epoxy on another block? Or even just fill with thickened epoxy? Or should I replace the whole shebang?
