Thanks for all the ideas. I am not so concerned about the leak (if there still is one). I should be able to see if water is coming in there using a hose in the spring. My concern is more how and whether to fix the damage. It is certainly cosmetic, not structural, so not a big worry, and it took me quite a while to even notice it. I don’t see any obvious was of getting to the back of that panel and I don’t know how to repair it from the front. I do have an oscillating tool that I could use to cut out the damaged area. Then what? My woodworking skills are not great. Better to cover it with a piece of wood (is that plywood or teak?) or try to fill the hole in some way even though I can’t get to the back? What would make you not cringe if you saw that on someone’s boat? Dave
