Old pressure treated wood shedding material
On a dock. 4"x8" and 4" x 10" PT boards have some material coming off. The board has lost it's edges over the years but there isn't any rot. So if you hit the area with a hose some material can come off but not in big chunks.
To me this isn't an indication of severe rot that has structural implications; I can't fit a flathead screwdriver into the wood like I could with normal dry rot.
Is there anything to seal the wood as it is to stop this from occurring?

Here is a picture. That it isn't soft anywhere to me makes me think I should leave it. This is on a dock and the lengths of the boards are 16' as I mentioned 4'' x 8''

I wasn't trying to imply at 35 yrs the decking had to be replaced but rather there isn't a way to make it look newer again. It's went past that point. Unless the look really bothered me I'd leave it as is until it does.
