My 72 formula formula 233 has a wooden deck. on either side of the engine cover there are draines and through deck ports. on the one side the decks getting soft. not real bad and in a small area so far. ( 1' x 2.5) ft. it has fresh paint so I hate to pull the deck but on the otherhand I cant let the problem get worse. I have seen rotdoctors solution with drilling holes and injecting epoxy, but I want to stop the drain from leaking. the ports were just put down with 5200 marine adhesive.

...and if you put if off, it'll really get bad right in the middle of next year's boating season. Then it will REALLY suck!
