Same. The deck on my 1972 30 MK I is cored. The offseason before last I removed the chainplates, dug out a good half-inch of core around the cutout, and refilled with epoxy with the chainplate in place, making a tight-fitting epoxy “donut” around the cutout and chainplate (of course I used a releasing agent - carmex - so the epoxy wasn’t stuck to the chainplate). That was all on the advice of Mr. Dennis Cheuvront. Then I resealed them per Don Casey’s instructions. Pictures at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTcTV6UlEwMmlqZkk.
