I had a "soft section around my windlass which I cured by drilling numerous holes from the underside of the deck and letting then dry out over the winter while covered. In the spring I put a bent nail in an electric drill and chewed up all the dead core inside each hole till the core was solid. I then taped over the holes and filled the area with slow cure epoxy in the cool weather and filled the cavity. I re-drilled for a new windlass thru solid epoxy. Did the same for the swim platform, but that was removable, so it was simpler. (No tape needed)
