Hunter 40.5 flooring question...

[redunculous]

Has anyone ever removed the flooring from under the sink?

My AC that was 'professionally' installed has leaked condensate over the years I've discovered and the wood has greatly suffered. I'm attempting to dry it out as it's cosmetic rather than structural and it can't be seen unless you open up the salon seats but may opt to just pull it out and replace so was wondering if it has been done.

My worry is I would need to dismantle the kitchen as it all seems to be resting directly on it ...

I also get some leakage and I believe that it is from the condensate pan failing to channel all the water to the bilge. My discoloration is in front of the seat near the large grille for air intake.

I have removed the board in front the sink and I remember that after removing the floor screws the wood just slid out. I never removed the board directly underneath.

Attached are a couple pictures that I took.

The floors all come out.
Start on stbd side main cabin fwd.
Then stbd aft.
Pull flooring from under table.
Then, remove screws that hold settee on port to floir
It all comes out
I took all my flooring out to re-varnish.
Unfortunately, the stuff I used (ultimate sole) is no longer available. Too bad!

I have been very pleased with Daly's Profin oil-modified urethane on my cabin sole. I pulled the sole, sanded down and applied 4-5 coats. Easy application with foam brush, and a beautiful finish that has worn well.

I am pretty sure that the Daly's Profin is the OEM finish. I can't check for sure because my can of it is on my boat.
