IMG 1230 This rot damage came from water down the mast over time. My 1984 Catalina 30 masthead fitting is open to the sky at the top! Since I had the mast pulled to do this compression post repair, it now has an aluminum plate to cover the opening. Note the hole that the mast wiring came through, in the upper left part of the wood.

IMG 1369 Note bottom two inches of PVC wiring conduit showing some previous water "level" inside the post box. Catalina factory drills a hole down through the post support and into the bilge so the mast wires can continue back to the nav station switches. Rain comes down the wires, and over time, rots the block.

IMG 1372 Aft compression post board removed. It is screwed and glued. Work a sturdy, new, sharp putty knife carefully up the joint. After opening the seam (quite a lot), I speeded things apart using a Rockwell SonicCrafter. Recommend it or a similar Fein "Multi-Tool" highly
