Removing the bow pulpit, we see moldy stains under one of the bases where rain has been dripping into the cabin.

With a bent wire chucked into a drill and some digging by hand we hog out wet core material from the first hole.

Now wet core is hogged out of all 3 holes. I attacked it from below too. All 4 stanchion bases had to be done. ith tape over the bottoms we filled all the holes with thickened epoxy, re-drilled and reinstalled the stanchions with new bedding.
