So this fall during winterizing we had a lot of rain and I found 2 small leaks on the deck. One on each side comming through the cap shroud stay mount (long side stays). No big deal I have butyl so I removed them easily enough and found no deck rot at all. Yeah a simple fix or so I thought. Upon reassembly I found 1 small rot spot on the bulkheads above the upper bolts where the tangs mount. I decided just to remove the bulkhead on the port side and this is what I found. The bottom is slightly spongy and wet but is firming up now that it is drying out. So the big question is do I have to remake the whole bulkhead or can I just dry it out or can I use something like GetRot to repair what I have? I am a fresh water sailor in MN and the boat lives on its trailer most of the time. So I guess I'm hoping for some good news here as my carpentry skill leave a lot to be desired.
