Text from David's post:

Cabin heat and windshield defrost. As you can imagine, this is important in Alaska.

I installed a large Reddot type heater in place of the bottom, right hand draw under the dinette, and also a small Reddot type heater in the cabinet under the helm.

Both are run off a single hot water (coolant) loop front the Stbd engine. From the heater in the cabinet, a flexible duct (not shown) comes straight up inside the cabinet, 90's forward under the top of the helm, then ends in an adjustable louvered vent that is pointed at the windshield.

The whole de frost_sy stem (he ater, du ct, and lou vered vent) was found at a truck shop, and is very common. Works fantastic, and was not technically difficult to install. Each heater blower has it's own 4-position switch, located just under, and to the left side of the helm, so you can reach them from above, or standing in the galley below.

Now I think I know the fault: any keyword of Dave's post was responsible for - this blocking.

I've split the original text in parts to find out. Now you can read his message :D

Might work, but it's not really fixing the cracks.

Another choice for such a cosmetic repair would be spray bed-liner material. One DIY product is called Raptor, available in auto paint supply stores. You catalyze it in the jar, then screw on a spray gun top (like an undercoating gun), then spray it on. Dries tougher and would withstand treading on it better than rubber roof coating.

I think anything other than grinding the cracks gone, is gonna be cosmetic though

Have you checked to see if the core is wet to cause this? Get a plastic headed hammer and rap the top surface hard.. any dull sound will suggest a wet core.... fix that first as the filled cracks will re-appear as the root cause has not been fixed.
Or use a moisture meter on the floor... best test solution.
