Robbin - oh yea, you have the Garlick motor mount too. Happy with yours? .....next project is to take the toe-rail off and re-bed that baby like you have done. I get a lot of leaking there. I have had my cabin top covered because I'm remaking some of the teak and with the front deck exposed, the rain runs down under the tarp and leaks in through the toe rail screw holes. And even in a light rain, I get quite a bit of water accumulation on my port side berth.

The meter confirms that a local area under the tabernacle is wet and some of the photos of the cabin ceiling (https://picasaweb.google.com/110938325409185510143/M23) show the result of the deck being mushy and putting loads on the end of the bulkhead/boards under the tabernacle. This also caused the cracks and depression in the cabin floor. This has been going on for some time but I can see signs it was getting worse as time went on. So the deck is due for a facelift and some solid replacement of core under the tabernacle. Not a big area. I will have the shop at the marina do this as I have too many other boat projects ongoing to tackle this one as well. I will try and take some photos of the repair for anyone interested. Look for spring! Robbin M-23
