[Rhodes22-list] Inner Shroud Issues

[Todd Tavares]

Matt,

There is a right way which involves a ton of work, and there is an adequate
way.
The hard way is cutting away the cabin top removing any loose, wet, rotted
or dry rotted core material. Then epoxy in new plywood core, re-glass the
cabin top, fair paint.
The alternative is to cut an access hole in the cabin wall. (Cut the
chainplate with a die grinder to pull it out from above or leave it in
place). Then put the chainplate on the outside of the cabin wall and a
backing plate inside.

But looking at your pics, you may have no alternative that to cut away the
cabintop.

PS. I'll try to make a couple of pencil sketches so you know what is inside.
