Peter there are many articles on this is the archives; I agree with Dennis on
the Bed it;
you should take some time to find out exactly what failed; I would look closely
at whatever work was done in the 2011 work; for me personally, I would like to
know what you find because I have a 1985 37 also...! thanks

Greetings,I discovered water via failed bedding at the starboard chain plate
had been draining into the cavity behind the settee bulkhead where the
plate/nuts are accessible. It's all glassed but the trapped water sloshed
during sailing and saturated the unsealed plywood edges of the access port. Now
I'm worried about rot around the plate bolts in addition to a wet deck core.
Ugh.
I've temp sealed the deck plate with Gorilla tape and am considering ways for
drying things under deck (we're on a ball so no AC). Once I get a handle on any
rot issues, I'll be cleaning/rebedding both chainplates.
Any thoughts on this process?Thoughts on using butyl tape for bedding instead
of 4200?The nuts/bolts were new when new chainplates were installed in 2011.
Should I replace these?
The boat is a 1985 37' 6.7 draft
Any expertise, references, links will be most appreciated.
