#1 Re: General discussion » MKIII bulkhead rot at chainplate » 2014-09-04 23:21:25

Surveyor was out yesterday afternoon. His recommendation is to clean out rot (top 3 thru bolts, approx 1.5" wide), embed with West System epoxy, and install 2 aluminum plates to on either side of chain plates, bolted thru the "virgin" wood to spread the load. Seems sounds to me, I believe this is done on J24's to combat a similar issue. The chainplate is being removed today and I will inspect it prior to repair. I am prepared to walk away if not satisfied with the fix. Is this leak a common issue on C&C 27 and can it be stopped with new bedding compound or other sealant?

Hello,

I am looking to purchase a MKIII but noticed the bulkhead (double berth against head) has rotted where the chainplate connects. Leaking from above. Wood is soft, poke your finger through condition just where the chainplate connects. What is the fix? Will the entire bulkhead require replacement or can the section be cut out and a new piece epoxied in? Can I add a stainless plate to reinforce the section and grab wood farther away from the rot? Sale is on hold until I get a handle on what this will cost. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,

- Chris
