Hello! I've been reading this forum for awhile and really appreciate all the experience that's available. I bought my 1979 C-22 (#8728) last year and have been cleaning, repairing, upgrading, etc. Even found time to get the hull wet twice!
Just uncovered her last week and saw that the compression post is cracked. After removal, I can see that some PO put screws in it parallel to the grain....Crack!
It's the original teak post; I'm hoping to repair it by injecting some glue and clamping, and then bracing some deck screws cross-grain. I'll refinish it after repair, either teak oil or Cetol. Anyone have an opinion if I'm on the right track? Thanks in advance.
