One other things that I need to work on. the deck, just forward of the forward
hatch appears to be soft (surveyor whacked it with fiber hammer and said it was separating). After the survey we went to look at his boat on which he is repairing the decks by drilling 1/4" holes about an inch apart over the affected area, using forceps to dig out the rotted wood, then using a blower he dried out anything left in there, then filled it all with
epoxy up to the deck level.
Do you know if this technique would work on the islander decks?
