Hi Don,
We did a pretty through job of checking into the extent of wood damage on the boat. The main cause was due to lack of maintenance on the prior owners part to keep a fresh silicone seal between the chainplate and the deck. Therefore, that area of the deck went soft, and moisture got into the bulkhead. Funny how it always to be the port side tho. The combination of soaking the wood with Get Rot and epoxy without tearing the bulkhead apart seems to be successful after a year of pretty windy sailing.
