    Restoring 1975 glasply 2300, bilge question...

    I fit mine to slide into the pvc stubout in the bilge. Made it fit barely snug then added a o ring. Screwdriver to pry out and a long bar to pop back in due to accessibility.

    Restoring 1975 glasply 2300, bilge question...

    My cuddy was the same there was a step down toward the cabin. I laid a pvc drain down against the keel starting at the point in the bow where water would collect.

    Showing my Tri-axle Trailer some TLC . . .

    I just bought a TOPDON 1. $8 bills. Seems to everything but tpms/keys. Was another 400 for that. We'll worth the money in time savings alone. I bought it to do some charity work for sons girlfriends mom. Saved her 2500.00

    Extra Bilge Pump

    I run 2. A small 5/8ths and a larger 3/4 outlet (500/1200 gpm) i think. The small one turns on first for normal usage and the bigger one is backup cuz I have a omc with the big 2' square rubber seal.

    Take a 4" grinder with a flapper disk... 40 grit and if you hold the grinder just right,kinda flat it will spin the rotor, but not so fast and clean up the whole surface just like a brake mill does. With rust like that probably need a new flapper each side

    You said bondo...... If you used automotive "bondo" it has talc or something that will absorb moisture. It will then blister. If so you should remove the bondo and use an actual "faring compound"

    Best way to fasten bow rails?

    Riv nuts/nutserts WILL fail. They are made for sheet steel. You can drill a hole in the center of your rail pad big enough to get a welded nut/fender washer combo thru the hole and glue in place x 4. Also hilti toggler will work but they dont come in stainless. They kinda work like butterfly...
