Hello All

 

I have a 1981 C&C 34.  At the front bulkhead, port side a diesel heater had
been installed and water got into the deck around the chimney.    I sealed
this up several years ago but now the deck has become spongy forward and
towards the mast, covering an area of about 1.5 feet square.  At the moment
it is still fine for standing on but it makes me nervous that it will get
worse.  For anyone who is familiar with this problem I have some questions.

 

1.       It appears the deck has delaminated from the core, which I believe
is balsa.  I have heard that once this sets in it will just continue to
spread.  Is this true, or now that water is no longer getting in will it
stop?

2.        Is there any way to tell if it is still wet in there without
drilling holes in the deck?

3.       What are peoples recommendations on how to fix this?

 

Any other advice on this is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Don
