Hello C-27 people and other knowledgeable sorts.

I am finally getting around to fixing my deck near the mast and near the bow.

My no-contact moisture meter reads 16-17% in those areas (vs 6-7% elsewhere).

My plan is first to cut 3/8ths inch deep holes of ca. 2 inch diameter in the underside of the wetter sections as dryout locations, and to run an Italian style oil-filled heater in the cabin to help the dryout. I'm planning on 6 or 8 holes, the ones in the cabin to be covered neatly with vent covers.

Next I plan to drill many 3/32 holes down into the deck , tape the undersides, and run epoxy down the holes.

I write this in the hopes that people who know about these things will comment, first, and to offer the use of my meter to people near my location and on this site.
