What's the best way to seal leaky chainplates at the deck. The boats built after 1988 have a welded flange that makes it hard to get caulk inside the joint without removing the whole assembly. Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy River, Md__

The dent seems awfully small to me and sounds cosmetic. I doubt a dent with a depth of 3mm counts for much. That's about an 1/8". The mast wall is probably that thick. And the size of 5cm (2") by 3cm (1 3/16") seems very superficial. Several feet above the gooseneck. If there aren't too many hal
