HI Christian
Had exactly same issue on our 34. Tried several sealers but the only one that worked is butyl. Biggest issue is the large upward movement of the chain plate in relation to the deck when rig is tightened and can only imagine what happens when beating to windward and tacking. I removed the chain plate to verify knee was sound – no wood rot. All was well. Slightly expanded the deck holes so they were cone shaped. Reinstalled the plates. Squeezed in butyl so completely filled void between deck and plates, pushed in firmly by hand and ensured was slightly proud of deck. Put dabs of butyl around cover plate screws so whole assembly was sealed when plate secured. Butyl oozed out of all appropriate places. Did this long time ago ( 5+ years??) and no leaks so far.

Anybody tried to fix this with something else than putting caulking around the base? Christian Peer Gynt II C&C 34 1980 Saugatuck, CT Wilton Public Schools is transitioning e-mail systems.
