Re: Carver 405 MY swim platform storage box
The water migration/rot will be in the wood core you wont see it from the top or the bottom of the swimplatform. I have a 405
( people with 355/356 should do this too. (imo) and have removed my box to epoxy the mounting holes in the swimplatform and then reinstalled it. The box has a inner liner which hides the mounting screws. You can see where it is caulked when you open the box lid and along the back wall on the outside along the top. You take a knife and score the caulk all the way around the box and lift the entire inner liner and lid off as one piece. Then you will see the screws holding the outer part to the platform and wall. Remove the screws take a metal wire or whatever and probe the holes if they are soft you will need to remove t h e damaged wood or might get lucky to dry it if not rotted and what I did was redrill them oversize and fill with epoxy .This way the new holes are in epoxy and no wood can rot since water can't get to the wood core again. Reinstall the outer box and then the inner part recaulk the parts together. Easy peasy
