Hi,
first: it took the name of the Railing Base from SVB, maybe it is wrong...
I have a leaking problem with my Bavaria 44 / 2003. Some of the Railing Bases are leaking. Here is a picture of the Railing Base:
All the Railing Bases are covered with a teak strip:
Everything is sealed with Sikaflex, unfortunately to re-seal the screws from the top it would be necessary to remove the teak strips too.
I am a bit afraid of doing so - they might break, then I would have to let make the whole set again --- $$$$
Is there anyone here who already removed these teak strips from the top? Are they glued to the teak underneath?
I see some screws covered with teak-plugs, is this all?
What layers are underneath? How is the deck joined to the hull? Do I have to re-seal this too?
Another possibility would be to drill two holes from the top for each Railing Base to access the screws from the top, re-seal them and close the hole on the teak with Sikaflex or a teak-plug again.
Thanks a lot,
Regards:
Andras
