I had a soft spot on my Coronado 35 foredeck. I got great info in the yard from several folks and that was to drill very small holes in a pattern thru the gelcoat and into the balsa core. The several days of sunshine helped to wick out the moisture, but I did not use a meter nor assess just how much moisture remained in the core. I injected GIT-ROT in each drill hole until it filled the hole. It took several days before it cured but that soft spot was as hard as a steel plate after curing. A gel coat patch kit took care of the rest. Saved a bundle!
