Starboard Bulkhead Replacement

[bzylstra]

Hi, I'm a new S2 7.9 owner and getting ready to replace starboard bulkhead. I have read some of the postings here, my question is when i peel back the carpet near the hull edge I see a vertical joint where the teak bulkhead stops and a narrow length of mahogany is glassed to the hull. The main section of bulkhead is not glassed to hull. Is this a previous repair? When I install new plywood should it extend all the way to hull and be glassed in? The bulkhead is only dry rotted about 3/4 inch just below chain plate thru deck. It is also very slightly bulging along the bottom. Any suggestion very welcomed. Hull # 32 Thanks

Starboard Bulkhead Update ; Bulkhead is out of boat, was glassed to hull and was original. What I thought was a vertical joint was just the end of the teak veneer. It definitely needed replacement, you can't see all the rotted areas until the chain-plate is removed and bulkhead removed. Already have replacement marine plywood ready to cut and hope to install this week.

Travis, I have a few photos I will send. I cut out the bulkhead tonight. Tomorrow I will seal the edges with epoxy, and prep the hull sides and centerboard trunk. With any luck I will start glassing it in Wed. night depending on the weather. I will post more details as I progress.

On Raised By Wolves, I cut out the rotten, scarfed n a new section and glassed it down about 6". Works great. I will need to paint the bulkhead one of these days but it is holding up well. I used the old piece for a template.
