    Foam and floor replacement

    Working replacing the floor in my 15ft fiberglass trihull. My question is, do I need to let the foam dry before installing the floor? It's pretty wet from some recent rain. Everything looks good underneath , just not sure if the moisture will hurt the new install. Thanks, Jeff

    Re: Shifting Issues 55HP Chrysler / Stuck Shifter? One more quick question, does anyone have a trick for when re-installing the skeg, to get that nut and washer on that sits behind the prop pinion bearing? I would rather not remove the bearing if I don't have to.
