I have a Catalina 25 1983 Traditional. I am planning to replace my Port Side Bulkhead as there was a leak from my chainplate attached directly to it. I have not removed it as of yet. So here Are my Questions, There is a soft gasket like material around the edge of the Wood bulkhead separating it from the Fiberglass, Does anybody know exactly what that is? And Or what I can use to replace it? Also are there any pitfalls I should be aware of in replacing the bulkhead or is it pretty straight forward?

That soft gasket is called Welt trim or Welt piping. Its purpose is to finish off the edge/joint and make it look nicer. It is usually just stapled to the edge of the bulkhead. If you Google Marine Vinyl Welt trim you will get plenty of hits for it. Could try RV stores or auto upolstery shops.
