while working in the engine room, I spotted long time water stains on the port side forward bulkhead. it traces up along the pump up hose to the waste deck fitting. During the survey it was also reported moderately elevated moisture levels observed around the waste deck fitting on the portside deck.
I understand the complete repair requires replacing the wet wood. not sure if it's the o-ring on the cap or the sealant under the base that has broken down. I'm considering rebedding the fitting with new sealant, to stop the slow leak first. can someone describe the process to me?
