Yesterday I removed most of the wood below the nav station. Fresh water leak caused delamination and made wood replacement necessary. Very time consuming, lots of wood screws to remove. I need another rain storm to confirm I have found the leak.(2002 model 456) Nav station seat and floor removed. Plywood(top is white plastic) over the top of the starboard water tank totally saturated.

Were you able to remove the floor boards over the aft waste tank? My 456 has two panels that are connected from underneath. Im not sure how to get to those screws.

The boards I replaced were over the Starboard water tank, under the nav station. I will look this weekend to see what covers the aft waste tank. In my experience, some of the wood screws are VERY difficult to reach. Stubby screwdriver and extended length screwdrivers are important.
