    Fitting my Bunks to my boat

    I would have to look to see if the transom runs the whole width. I thought about a welded bracket to carry the extra length. There is anout 4 inches of the side main fram past the bunk ends now. check this pic to see how custom cobalt trailers extend the outer bunks.

    update: new day and a fresh look. it turns out the shift lever had popped out of the shift cable fork and got turned out of position. After I pulled the drive back a bit,I saw what happened, and put the lever back in position and the drive went right on.

    pulled my drive while in neutral 😬

    I mean, when I put the lower and upper units together I positioned the splined shaft full clockwise, and that locked the prop shaft counterclock.

    Cobalt 232 swim platform repair

    Encapsulate, as in plexus on all sides ? The bottom and top of these 3" dia. Disc's, will be plexus coated to bond, and the sides also will bond to the foam filler. Disc's are 3/4" thick.

    Cobalt 232 swim platform repair

    I am going to bond some 3 " aluminum pieces to the the top layer, then bond the other side to the aluminum plate. I plan to use plexus ma310. Do I need the special plexus primer for bonding to the aluminum ? Also, bonding to the top layer. I understand scuffing up the surface to help bond...
