Rear bulkhead

[wgiarratana]

Happy Memorial Day all, how does the wood trim around the cabin door attach to the bulkhead on my 28?. Have a creaking noise when we’re rocking on anchor I’m sure there’s a little rot at the bottom the noise sounds like it’s coming from the wood trim?. Any thoughts appreciated.

Mine was teak and was attached with screws that were hidden behind wooden plugs. Have to gouge out the plugs to get to the screws, If I did it again - - I would probably use starboard or wood and paint it - Keeping up with teak trim in Florida is a pain

Mine too.

Get a sharp knife and create a void between the deck and the trim so there's no friction between these two.
If the squeaking persists come back to us, we may have a demolition idea handy!!

I just replaced mine with a laminate of 1/2" and 3/4" Coosa BW26
