I pulled the deck off my 19 guardian tonight, and it was better than expected. About 10 screws were loose in one corner, and I'm going to drill out 3/8", and fill with marine tex. Then drill, and tap, for the screws. The area of the deck is soft around those 10 screws, but only about 1/2". I've only raised the deck about a foot, so that I don't have to disconnect the wires. Would it be possible to clamp a board covered with wax paper to the bottom of the deck, and fill theses holes with marine tex too? Also, should I put gluvit in the other holes in the boat to help strengthen the wood? Can you use marine tex in a west system caulking tube for easier injection in the holes?
