Re: Started removing the teak deck.

More progress. Well' it feels like a step back or sideways at best. Or maybe it feels like I fell down. I found a ton of rotted core around this porthole. Been cutting and digging.

Epoxied a big piece of the fiberglass skin back on the outside. The outside skin is crazy thick compared to the inner skin. I'm going to keep going from the inside.

Picture is sideways. It's hopeless. I can't fix it.

Re: Started removing the teak deck.

What a job. You are lucky in can do that repair in the water. I don’t know any marina near me that would let you do that.
Cheers

Re: Started removing the teak deck.

Im always worried they will ask me to pound sand.

The astronaught that has a boat at my dock likes me though. I think that is helping me.

I notice from your deck photo that you left a deck fitting in place. Is there a teak pad or piece of decking under it that you left in place or ???

Thinking I may just cut the deck away flush to the fitting and then maybe finish with some quarter round trim. Have you tried or seen this work??

Re: Started removing the teak deck.

Hey ttex,
Are you a member of the Baba owners group? A few folks there have gone through what you’re doing and might be of some help.

Yes and No. I have minimal affected hardware on my side decks (padeye, Jib track, standing blocks for furlers). Ultimately I am going to remove these items but I did cut around them with a multi tool to delay the removal process and maintain the usability of my boat in the meantime. When the time comes, I will remove and re-bed after paint. I wouldn’t recommend leaving things in place. If for no other reason, it gives you a chance to re-bed your hardware and makes for a cleaner job.
That said, the geniuses at Jeanneau ran my teak underneath my toe-rail which integrates into a rub rail track. Needless to say, it could turn into Pandora’s box if I removed and replaced. So the plan is to cut old teak flush and neat to the toe rail and then seal with a bead of 5200 prior o paint. It’s a thin margin (like 1/4” or less). Otherwise I wouldn’t consider the 5200 solution.

Re: Started removing the teak deck.

Progress has been slow the last month. We had a rain storm and the portholes i rebedded started leaking around the old glass. Leaked right on my wife while she was sleeping.

Needless to say im replacing all the glass with plexiglass and it is taking forever because I have never done it before. Resealing the glass with butyl tape.

No I was not aware of an active group. Got a link?

Re: Started removing the teak deck.

The porthole pictures. Do I call these portholes?

My wife is the photog.

I drilled out the old screw holes and epoxied 1/2 inch teak plugs in there so the screws would bite well.

I would consider painting first then sealing. That way the seal is over the paint edge, less chipping risk and less water intrusion under the paint risk i would think... just a thought.

Talking Re: Started removing the teak deck.

Got all the teak up today. Now I just have to start drilling holes and look for the inevitable rotten spots.

I cant make my pictures straight. Im the worst millenial ever.
