David, I had similar problem. As it was not structural I cut out the bad wood 
and glued in a piece of ordinary plywood. I then re-veneered with teak. You can 
buy very thin paper backed teak veneer at specialty hardwood suppliers.

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

Hi David,
Your problem looks cosmetic but you may have rot caused by fungus.  Checkout 
this video.

The first thing is to stop water, then spray with Concrobium fungicide spray 
from Home Depot, then repair.

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.

Hi David,

Never saw that before but suspect water leaked through the gap between your 
slider and drop boards.  Some kind of bug may be eating the teak.  Have you 
observed any strange mites or spiders in that area?   

I'd spray with a good bug spray for insects, cut away any loose stuff, treat w 
Git Rot and cover with a very thin piece of teak trim.

1st, of course, you must find the source of the leak which may take 2 sets of 
eyes--inside and out.
Just a guess but I would check the base of the companionway 'slides' on that 
side as the source of the leak--may take time, lots of water with hatch closed, 
etc. as it is when you leave the boat--or maybe just BOLO from the cabin when 
its seriously raining.
Also check the sliding hatch cover to be sure that it has the teak rails on top 
that direct rainwater water forward under the 'hood' to escape. Also, your boat 
may sit in the water with a slight list to port and aft--this would get water 
sitting/draining where it looks like it has been.

I had a mysterious leak for years in my aft cabin rear bulkhead that I never 
did find. After I had an astute boat mechanic and his assistant look for it, it 
turned out the the seal on the cockpit scupper on the port side on the cockpit 
was bad and it allowed water to drain around it and onto the bulkhead and down 
into the aft cabin cushions. 
Good luck.

I discovered last Fall that I had an area of the side paneling near the top of 
the companionway steps where the wood panel is completely rotted away.  I had 
not noticed anything until I noticed the hole.  I don’t think water has been 
leaking through there since I have had the boat, but it is a strange place for 
a leak to cause this and I never noticed any wet areas inside the boat.  
However it happened, I don’t have any good ideas as to how to repair it (if I 
repair it at all).  Any suggestions as to what to do?  Thanks- Dave
