The survey of the boat we are in the process of buying revealed "elevated" moisture levels near some if not most of the stanchion bases as well as the two forward cleats. One of the major issues is access to the nuts on the interior to remove and re-bed the bases. 90 percent are hidden behind teak or other cabinet panels.
Question, does anyone have experience removing the panels and cabinets to get behind them? How are they attached? Can they be removed and reinstalled without damage or will this entail new wood?
The boat was built in 1995 and though the problem is not immediate it is something we will have to deal with eventually. None of the deck is soft and I want to fix the problem before it grows.
Thanks
