[C320-list] Problems at survey

[Chris White]

I have had this on my 1997 C320.There is a little movement where the SS base sits on the deck.Clean and reseal around the plate.Clean the rust from around the inside bolts, it's only superficial.I know this because I took one bolt out to check.
Check tightness of nuts.That solved it on my boat.

 I’m selling my C320 and the initial survey on behalf of the buyer has identified some water ingress from beneath forward stbd stanchions as well as small weeps from beneath chainplates causing small amounts of rusting on the nuts that are in underside of saloon ceiling
To be honest I just always accepted this sort of thing as part and parcel of owning a 26 year old boat
Inevitably though there will have to be a renegotiation on price to allow for the new owner to get this issue fixed - or I remove the boat from the market, fix it myself and then readvertise
Can anyone tell me what’s involved in such repairs and whether it’s likely that any serious (ie structural) damage has been caused by not sorting it out sooner?
Many thanks
