Oily substance in V-Berth (MkV)

Hi,

I noticed today therte was a dark brown greasy substance on the cabin sole of the vberth ares - it seems to have dripped down the port cabin side and accumulated there. Any idea where this could be from?

Re: Oily substance in V-Berth (MkV)

The brown substance you found sounds like it could be the by-product of "balsa-core" deteoration,due to "moisture"getting into the deck from "somewhere".
I'd take a close look at your deck fittings in the area, ie: base of mast fittings, any line organizers, but especially the "mini stay" deck fitting as its almost directly over where you found the dripping.  I haven't found a MKV yet that has a "tight" fit here.............The bracket is just held with 4 screws, and any I've looked at (including my own) are surrounded by stress cracks........hense a water path to the balsa core and eventual "delamination" of the area.................................Good luck (Canadian Warren)
