Thank you for the definition - I call it a hatch cover but that is east coast
Had the same problem with ours that I fixed last winter. There is a design flaw in that the screws go through balsa core. The eventual leaks saturate the balsa causing delamination. Fix is to remove the traveler, remove the cover, remove the inner skin, remove all balsa (ours was literally dripping wet). Sand / clean / smooth the inner surface of the outer skin. Let dry thoroughly. Inspect / fill / repair screw holes in deck as needed. Cut 1/4 inch balsa sheet to fit leaving a 1 inch border around exterior. Tape screw holes on top side so resin / epoxy do not drip through. Apply resin, apply fiberglass chopped mat to prevent water intrusion through exterior cracks. Apply more resin. Apply balsa. Let cure. Apply thickened epoxy filler to the 1 inch border. Let cure. Sand smooth / level with balsa. Apply fiberglass woven mat. Let cure. Sand so edges are fair. Drill new holes for mounting screws which should all be through the epoxy. Use sealer of choice, reinstall. No more springiness :-) John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT -----Original Message----- From: OldSteveH [mailto:oldste...@sympatico.ca] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2014 8:32 PM To: 'John and Maryann Read'; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: RE: Stus-List C&C 34 Spray Apron It's the screw-on cover over the sliding companionway hatch. Mine is spongy to step on and it seems like it should be rigid. Am guessing it needs core replacement?

Mine feels soft, but am unsure if it just feels soft because its thin. I don't want to remove it if that's all it is.
