Hey all,
A survey on a boat we are looking to buy turned up some elevated moisture
readings on the port side under the genoa track. I would do this repair myself
as I understand what needs to be done, however my wife is insisting I leave
this job to a very experienced professional.

Steve Uthoff at Annapolis Fiberglass and GelCoat rebuilt my rudder. He we
very knowledgeable and from my ignorant perspective did things right. If
it makes any difference you can see the pictures he took while doing the
job.

Ryan,
The first thing to do is remove the track and determine the type of core in
the deck. If a C&C I expect it is balsa. If that is the case, then
determine if the core has decayed. That is, is it brown mush. If not, and
the core is still pristine, but has a high moisture content, you may be

Elevated moisture or rotted balsa? See if the pro will agree to use core other
than balsa. Something not susceptible to water ingress and rot. Like Coosa
board or Air-X closed cell foam. The issue with at least my model C&C is: Deck
does not drain well, loaded track works so mo natter how yo
All,
Only 3 weeks until the rig is pulled. Now I need coax for the VHF.
Which wire and connectors do I buy? RG-8? RG-213? Do I get a cable that
is pre-made and cut off one connector if I need to in order to get the wire
down the mast?
Thanks!

Personally, I'd go for RG8X or RG213. True, the 213 has less loss but I
think you'll still be OK with the RG8X. Buy a cable with one factory
end. Put that end at the masthead. Install it with a drip loop and a
grommet.

Joel — I’d suggest LMR-400 low-loss cable. The Times Microwave cable and
EZ-400 UM solderless connectors are top-notch and work great; but you need the
correct crimper die for the LMR-400 ferrules. This place will make up cables
(to MIL-SPEC) for you:

Joel and Josh,
Awesome! Thank you both very much. I'll be calling both for a quote.

Ryan,
My boat will be at Osprey most of the winter for painting and a bottom
job. They did the bottom of my C&C when I bought her.

I second the opinion that a simple moisture meter is insufficient to
dictate the severity of decay and extent of repair . The readily accepted
method of sealing penetrations is to drill a hole for your fastener 1/8" to
1/4" larger than the circumference of the fastener. Then use a bent nail

Rob and Petar,
Thanks so much for the insight. It sounds like I have a decision to make
when I get the survey back and can see exactly what the moisture readings
are. It's a Morgan 382, so I'm actually not even sure if it's balsa or
foam coring.
Thanks again

Ryan,
I doubt the surveyor is going to tell you what the readings are. You are
probably going to have to remove some bolts and see how bad it is. Given
the size of the area, I would plan for a re-core, and make my offer based
on that assumption.

I had a surveyor that in addition to the normal moisture meter used an
infrared camera. Temperature variances could show or confirm all types
internal inconsistencies. It was on the pricey side of the survey spectrum
but provided me a little extra peace of mind. ~$800.

While we are on the topic, could anyone recommend a good moisture meter for
personal use?

I picked up a Skipper ll on EBAY for a couple hundred bucks, works fine, then
i found a meter bundled with a laser heat sensor at Costco for around 40. I
don't remember where that one is, though!

Hi John,
Good news indeed. What's the local rating for that dock, racing or
cruising model?
