I have had a little ceramic heater with a fan on the boat blowing hot air at the mast step for a week now.

Now that everything is drying up nicely I am finding the integrity of the tabbing holding the mast step to the hull is all compromised. I can get my knife in between the tabbing and the wood structures so I do not think it is doing much any more.

Obviously this entire assembly needs to be replaced with new materials. At the same time I need to replace my keel nuts and washers and reseal the hull/keel join because the factory confirmed the forward nuts are inaccesable with the mast step in place.

My question is how have people tabbed in the port side longitudinal member of the mast step? This edge is under the head unit. It looks to me that taking the head apart would be a HUGE job, not one I want ot do at all.
