Rebuilding rear wall
We had some water intrusion that rotted a portion of the rear wall. We resolved the problem by removing the side stanchions and lifelines. I always thought they were in my way when I walked along the side decks. They would trip me up constantly.
Part of the floor was also rotted out. We had a little demolition to rip out the rotted wood.
There was an inside wall and an outside wall that needed to be removed and rebuilt.
I also replaced the teak sole under the wall.
I used 5/8 marine plywood with three coats of west system epoxy and three coats of Petit epoxy paint. Hopefully if it gets wet again it won't rot. I used the old pieces as templates.
I replaced the floor piece with 3/4 marine plywood with three coats of epoxy.
I also replaced the side paneling with new laminate over the old paneling. It brightened up the salon a bit.
Installation went well and I have not had anymore leaking problems.
