We've determined that the
rot spreads ~ 2 " up the post from the
bilge. The rest of the post appears fine inside and out. There is no warping or visible distortion of its seat on the
keel, however it is only a matter of time.
Would a fix be to sure-up the post with 2x4's, cut out the damaged section and replace it? (Or leave the 2x4's in place).
This a bottom up problem with no
deck leakage or distortion and I will not be able to take the
boat out for a full replacement.
