Hi all,
I just cut out a pretty big soft spot on my deck. 2 of the bulkheads have some rot. I plan on fixing them. It's kinda of a temporary fix until the original gad tank needs to be replaced. At that time Ill most likely replace the entire floor. So hopefully I'll get 3 -5 years out of this repair. My question is would I be able to move the bulkhead nearest the bilge back say 5 inches. I'd like to get some more room to access my bilge pumps and with 2 battries and the oil tank it is a tight fit. Would I be ok doing this or would it throw things off. I'm thinking of add something like a 1x4 on the flat wrapped in fiberglass where the old bulkhead is positioned for support. Has anyone done this before any advice would be appreciated.
The stringer seem to be ok except some delamination back towards the bilge. I plan on soaking the with penetrating epoxy once the dry out and clamping them together to sturdy them. I'll post some pictures if I can figure that out. Thanks in advance for any thoughts, tips or comments.
