I’ve got some water damage to the teak walls of the cockpit. Probably from years of condensation and neglect and winters over in Alaska. I’d like to make them look as good as possible, but so far not a lot of success. Here is what I’ve tried: Sanding with 220 ( carefully because of the veneer.Also painfully slow. Scraping with a cabinet scraper. Wood bleach ( two types). On patches of each potential solution I’ve used tung oil as a finish . I’d like to just replace them and be done with it. Any ideas on repairing would be appreciated including if anyone has replaced the panels . Thanks Ron Portland, Oregon Endeavor nt32 - 982 ron@sailcetacean.com

Same problem and looking for a solution.

For mine I sanded them down past the problems and then applied teak oil per the instructions from the factory (on SENTOA website). Works pretty well after several rounds of applying and resanding with finer sandpaper each time. Up to 600 grit final.

Our Nt26 122 had the same problem. In 87 the glass was held in with old style rubbers with a insert from the 60s and 70s automotive era. I don't know your year but if it's close to age as ours and the windows are held in with rubber it's the rubber that has got hard and allowed moisture in. I bought new rubber material on a roll from CR Laurence, looks exactly the same. I have redone the whole interior with the foam padded vinyl material that nordics have now. (Found a 2 rolls of sea ray material) looks just like the new nordics. I removed the carpet from the ceiling,teak paneling from the walls removed all the mouldings and refinished them and used 3 m 77 spray adhesive to glue it all in and put all the refinished teak back in and it looks like a new boat. While I had all the glass out I ceramic tinted all rear and side glasses. (Light tint) and that made a great difference. This is on the hard in my air conditioned garage in Florida and a bow thruster is next. I did not like the stained teak . This will be a very nice boat when I am done.

I have replaced the door panels. First, the new rubber from CR Laurence is spot on. The door panels are built into a groove in the door. I cut the interior side of the groove off and the panel came right out. I made new panels, stuck them in the hole and used petite trim to secure them. It looked pretty sweet when it was done.
