  4. Hi Mark, The damaged timber and the areas immediately around it that may have also been contaminated by the decay must be removed. The problem is just exactly how much needs to go, and the only way to establish that is get it out of the water and have it fully checked.
    I look at these things from a cost/benefit angle, and your long term plans. Some people will spend 10 times the market value to bring a boat up to what they want, because they are not ever planning on selling it later on. But don’t stress about it, as timber deuteriation is a natural occurrence. Fix and protect it again.

  5. Hi I have a timber boat built in New Zealand ex cray boat now a live aboard on the Gold Coast QLD I have read the article about anodes and electrolysis caused from them the pictures you posted look similar to what is happening on my boat where keel bolts have moisture around them and the timber has wet rot and is pulping into like wet chipboard or something similar it’s hardwood but is as soft as sponge any advice or help in possible solutions to repairing such a dilemma would be very much appreciated I would be able to send some pictures if needed this is home I love her have spent 100s if hours working on her to have her looking good then I find this hiding in the bilge under lead ballast blocks very sad to see such a scary and what I think possibly a big structural issue and possibly a timely and costly repair thanks .Mark
