The deck around many of my lifeline stanchion bases looks like it's weakened. The deck moves when I push and pull hard on the stancions. There isn't any fiberglass cracking that I can see, but the deck just seems to have lost its rigidity. Is this normal wear and tear for a 40 year (#354) J/30? What have others done to repair/improve it? Extra glass? Extra large backing plates?
Wet core is not a factor with these bolt hole placements.
I have read every post here with the word "stanchions" in it.
