Leak at grounding plate CD27

Post by Russ Cooper »

I noticed the wood backing for the grounding plate on my CD27 has moisture around the bolts and is beginning to rot as a result. No discernible dripping yet, but it is leaking. Of course, I hauled the boat just three months ago, so would like to attempt a short-term in-the-water fix until next haul-out. Anyone have experience with this? Also, could this be an indication of stray current issues, or just the failure of 20 year old sealant?
