Is it indeed solid and not cored at that part of the deck?

Tap it with a hammer to ensure there is not void. If it is in fact not cored, you're good to go.
I did do that today when i was there and it doesnt sound “hollow”. Same noise as if tapping the side of the hull. Glass guy said the mushiness i was feeling was probably mold/algae from it being wet. Mechanically there is nothing on the boat I cant or havent fixed. Fiberglass issues scare the bejeezus out of me.
View attachment 95315 So i believe the wood coring starts right there. Either way i got lucky and its dry and solid. It was just mushy mold i was feeling. Drilled the holes out from 1/4 to 5/16 and all the shavings were dry. Since im up here ive decided to rebed everything. Pulled the windlass today. Should this be sealed all the way around or left open at the bottom? You can see the dirt trail where its not sealed
