    Plywood floor replacement...Questions

    The foam was only water logged on top. I shaved down a full 2 garbage pails and they couldnt have weighed more then 15 pounds as I lifted them with one hand. I guess water logged is an overstatement and they were just wet. That was only removing about 3 inches off the top. There is still plenty/...

    Lower Shift Cable Question - Alpha 1 Gen 2

    I have a gen one but I cut the cable a few inches back from the end then unscrewed it. My concern was stripping the threads in the outdrive. I didn't want anything binding it up. Made no difference with using the old cable as a guide

    Made some progress. Added PT wood in all the areas I thought it needed.. dry fit 6 inch 1708 fiberglass then got to work fiberglassing for the first time in my life. I soaked it good and rolled it out with a fiberglass roller. It still looks white in some areas but there are no bubbles and I...

    Interested in Wog's secret wood sealer but a question.

    I just applied this last week to sanded 3/4 plywood. It took nearly 3/4 a gallon on one side alone! It's been drying for 7 days in 80 deg sunny weather. Think that's enough? It seems dry but I can still smell it on the wood. Will any polyurethane work as the final sealer or should I use the...

    Hard shifting after new lower cable....sometimes

    Alpha one gen one It has shift assist with the "shock absorber" Adjusted exactly to spec. No stalling issues when shifting Do you have a link to routing thread? I thought the shift interrupter switch was non adjustable and the adjustments come from the cables? Pretty sure it's just a plate...

    Hard shifting after new lower cable....sometimes

    I replaced the lower shifter cable last year. Immediately after, shifting from forward to neutral would bind up. To try to explain it, it would be like a shock absorber or pushing against an air pocket where it wanted to push back almost bouncy feeling. Like trying to push the inner cable but...

    Plywood floor replacement...Questions

    I'm installing new back to back seats. The original setup had pieces of wood attached to the the bottom of the plywood in the area of the seats to give the lag screws more meat to screw into. It seems like those areas were the most rotted out. I would assume from trapped water or wicking from...

    OK so the PB and the fiberglass all get's done at the same time wet. I thought PB one day and the rest another day. So to confirm: PB Apply the fiberglass resin with hardener over PB while wet Apply mutable layers of glass on resin (different widths) Tap more resin over glass till it soaks...

    Thanks for the detailed information. When you say 2 layers does that mean one layer, wait to dry and do the process again or double up on the fiberglass and do it all at once?

    Plywood floor replacement...Questions

    Can you use polyester resin with either a glass strip to bond deck to hull. Or make peanut butter out of polyester resin for a deck/hull bond instead of epoxy?

    Right, I found out about it here. Sounded like the wood would last a long time with this method so I did it. Aside from my possible bonding issue with the linseed oil I still not sure what the problem is yet it's been dumped on here. The plan was Seal it, install it, roll out spar after...
