CD25 Moving Cabin Bulkheads

Post by Tom »

I have noticed on my 1976 CD25 the aft port cabin bulkhead has moved out of the slot on the liner by 1/2" - 3/4". I have tried to tap the bulhead back into place but it appears that is will need some leverage to get it back into place. I have read some older posts on the subject and it appears that it is a common problem with CD25's of this vintage. Does anyone have any recent experiences for the correct method to fix the problem. Does the boat flex that much that the forces are great enough to move the bulkhead 3/4" toward the centerline? There are not any stress cracks near the mast step on top of the deck or liner. The steel support looks fine also.
