On my 35-2, heavy rain blowing against the hatchboards has caused a bit of water to leak at the corner joints at the bottom edge, where the U channel pieces are joined. I have left a sheet of plastic covering the hatch for the winter storm season until I can re-seal things to prevent any damage.
As for repairing the damage, possibly you could cut a section out using an oscillating tool and replace it with a new piece of teak plywood? I got one of these tools for this type of job, but haven't tried it yet. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Sun, Jan 10, 2021 at 9:15 AM CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi David, > > Never saw that before but suspect water leaked through the gap between > your slider and drop boards.
