Well, I was able to cut into the deck and get the wet wood out (although I’m
sure it’s travelled to other parts of the deck) and cleaned it up. See the
attached photos. I let it dry out yesterday then covered it. Planning to
begin fiberglassing the area. However, I’m concerned about whether it will
be able to support the mast again as I didn’t remove all of the wood. If
it’s structurally weakened then after I make the repairs, I’ll likely have
the same deck cracking problem pictured in the first post. Once the wood was
in the sun for the afternoon it appeared to be ok. Unless I hear otherwise,
I’ll just apply layers of fiberglass and not plywood. Is this the prudent
plan?

Thanks,
DJ Baines
