I addressed the main blukheads in my boat 2 seasons ago. On mine, it was the port side that was rotted, which required taking half of the head apart to get at. Because the wall enclosing the head is part of the bulkhead assembly I did not completely remove it. The bulkhead was a sandwich if 3 pieces of 1/2", one of these being part of that wall. I relaminated two new pieces dto that and filled the rotted are of the remaining one with epoxy. I dug out rotted balsa out of the side deck around the chainplates and filled with solid epoxy. I also tabbed the main bulkheads to the side decks as you described. I agree, it should eliminate a lot of flexing and moving in that area. |
