Step 1
Remove the lag bolts that hold the swim deck in place on the stern of the boat. Set the bolts aside to be used when you reattach the swim deck frame to the boat.
-
Step 2
Remove the broken teak planks from the swim deck by removing the screws that hold them to the platform frame with a screwdriver. Set the screws aside, as you will need them to attach the replacement plank to the swim deck frame.
-
Step 3
Measure the old plank. Mark the dimensions on the new plank and use the circular saw to cut the new plank to the dimensions of the plank you are replacing. If the broken plank was stained with teak oil, paint the teak oil onto the replacement plank with the paint brush. Allow the replacement plank to dry thoroughly.
-
Step 4
Replace the broken plank with the new plank. Use a screwdriver to attach the replacement plank to the swim deck using the screws removed from the plank you replaced.
-
Step 5
Using the lag screws which you removed from the swim platform when you removed the platform from the boat, reattach the swim platform to the stern of your boat.
