I have recently begun to rewire my mast and in the process notice that my through deck electrical fitting has been leaking water. When I removed the fitting I stuck my finger into the hole and felt the moisture on the wood deck coring. The through deck hole is 1" in diameter. The wood around the hole looks intact i.e. it hasn't rotten, and I image if the wood at the source of the water isn't rotten then I doubt any of the wood around it will be rotten. So I don't think I need to replace any of the wood. I just need to dry it out and insure that no more water enters there.Are there any suggestions for good ways of drying the wood out? Some ideas that I have had were to set up a fan to blow air through the hole for a few days...sticking a small light bulb into the hole to heat it and evaporate the water...Thanks for any suggestions/comments.
