Hi all,
This is my first post, so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong place or improperly made in some way! I just took delivery of my Hunter 290 (which I love), and everything looked great on it except for one thing.
In the anchor locker there was quite a bit of moisture. In the process of cleaning every little thing I could find, I pulled all the chain/rode out and found that some of the lining was breaking off in pieces. Under that I found some wood that was completely soaked through, soft to the touch and just generally gave me a bad feeling.
It doesn't appear to be sharing a wall with the forward berth (so no leaking into the cabin, I think), and doesn't look like it's affecting anything major. I'm trying to get a sense of 1) how big of a problem is this? 2) How would I go about fixing it?
Attached are a couple of photos of the area I'm talking about. Thanks for any help!
