Determine the rotted area by moisture meter or by tapping with a hammer, etc. When you do the peel, go an inch or so outside the rotted area. That leaves a ledge of good core. Replace the core ensuring that the replacement material is finished to the same elevation as the good core ledge. Tape

I have not done a peel but I do know the design (25-2) at the step and arch support below. A coosa board product spanning the arch space in the cabin would add much greater strength than factory. Also fastened into the bulkheads hidden between the headliner and mast step with 316 SS stock. The fo

If you choose to do a "deck peel", a vibrating saw such as a Dremel Multimax is the tool to use. It will cut a very narrow groove. You can then "peel" up the deck using a flexible putty knife. If you are careful, you can then replace the peeled piece of deck. Go a bit outside the rotted area.

OK, you need to overbore and fill all the deck penetrations on the cabin top. All, even ones that may be a bit remote from the deck step. Water can find its way to strange places. Here's how to do it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsckZCTFA0aDM5cGc Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mande

Stephen The '71 C&C 27 Mk I had a deck stepped mast. The mast sat in an aluminum base that sat on the fiberglass cabin top. The base was held to the deck by through bolts aft and screws forward. (Forward screws likely into the bulkhead cross beam.) The cabin top was a fiberglass bulsa fiberglass s

Since you have a deck stepped mast on the coach roof, detecting rot or moisture can be done with a moisture meter. You would likely note the area around the mast base casting to be somewhat spongy if there was water ingress. Our mast step on my 25 mk1 was supported by the midship bulkhead below

The mast step (at least on my 30) fails slowly, as it rots and sinks into the bilge. Just keep track of the shroud tension and if it starts sagging, then get concerned – and not even then if you still have adjustment on the shrouds. You may get dirty water in the bilge from dripping down the mas

Hi all, First, having found the archives for this list incredibly helpful, I wanted to pose a question about the mast step on my C&C 25 II (bought about a year ago somewhat impulsively, I confess). Occasionally, after prolonged rains, I'll find some water residue in the cabin under the mast step.
