The helm side below, has rotted core where the joint is and about 10-12" up. I have removed the bad core from the inside ( where the fuses are ) - be'atch of a job, tough access, and I am very surprised to find out that the only thing holding this joint together is potter putty - and that the putty was sandwiched between (2) gel coated parts ! And, the core material is, I believe ONLY 1/4" plywood ! That is thin for such a high stress area !
I am planning to glass the topside to the liner here, as I did on the passenger side.
Anyone done this ?
