    Resin Cracks

    Pulling the boat out of the shop and into my driveway today to do massive grinding. I already have too much fiberglass dust in my shop.

    My 1981 Citation Marquis...

    I pulled out all the old transom wood and sanded it flat with a belt sander. I trimmed the stringers back about 10 inches. It depends on how tall your stringers are as to how much space you need to allow. In the pic below you can see how I cut back the floor and stringers. I was replacing...

    Seawater Pump Rotation?

    Yeah, I don't like using used parts without checking them first. Anybody seen a rebuild kit for this particular pump (DJ09201) for sale anywhere?

    Seawater Pump Rotation?

    I don't know what this part is called but does it look like it is worn and needs to be replaced?

    Here are the pics after disassembly of the pump. It looks like I need a rebuild kit.

    Resin Cracks

    Started grinding on the cracks. Switched to my 1/2 inch belt sander cause I was concerned about being too aggressive with the angle grinder. I had to go pretty deep, maybe 3/8 to 1/2 inch. You can kind of see that with the screwdriver in the picture. Anyway, crawled under the trailer and I...

    Resin Cracks

    Oh, ok.. I think the combination of the angle grinder and the belt sander should do it. Heading to Harbor Freight to pick up a new belt sander in a few minutes. The belt sander will help get the surrounding area prepped for the layers of 1708.

    My 1981 Citation Marquis...

    I replaced my transom without removing the cap but you have to cut the stringers back to have room to slide the new plywood up under the cap area. The cap on makes it a little more challenging to clamp the new plywood to the hull. I used horizontal 2x4's on edge with bolts through the hull...

    Resin Cracks

    They have 3 different brands of belt sander, Warrior, Bauer, and Chicago Electric... It looks like you are referring to the Chicago Electric one which is on clearance... My old one was the Chicago Electric and it lasted quite a while.

    Crankshaft damper

    Make sure you use a three legged puller attached to those 3 bolt holes otherwise you will damage the damper. Oops, I guess you said you already got it pulled.

    Seawater Pump Rotation?

    I have a used but supposedly rebuilt Jabsco DJ09201 seawater pump. I turned it and it turns in the counter-clockwise direction when looking at it from the front of the engine but doesn't seem to turn in the clockwise direction. Unless I am having brain fade, it should turn in the clockwise...

    Have you checked your steering arm and steering arm bolt to see if one or the other is worn and slipped?

    Resin Cracks

    In the very bottom of my hull (keel), there are two places about 2 to 3 feet long (engine bay and amidships) where it appears that the factory dumped excess resin. It appears that with hull flex or just age the resin has cracked. I wasn't able to grind it out yet as my belt sander burned up...

    Stuck Valve/Cracked Head/Cracked Block

    If you bent the pushrod because it was too tight then you probably need to replace the lifter as well as it would have bottomed out.

    Dump gun set up gelcoat

    Although I haven't used it yet, I went with the gun that Scott recommended and will be using Duratec. My experience with painting with HVLP guns is that you get much better control with them than other types. One of the keys is the nozzle size with the gun Scott refers to providing a 2.3mm...

    Best Way to Lay Resin on CSM?

    Thanks all for the info. Yes, I have watched FriscoBoater's entire series. I will give the squeegee a try and check out the epoxy rollers.

    Best Way to Lay Resin on CSM?

    I did my first layup of some CSM on the bottom side of a couple of small deck boards. I wetted out the plywood with resin and then laid the CSM on top. I patted it down on the wet plywood and then tried to brush resin on the top. Found out real quick that brushing doesn't work. I finished...

    Which resin to finish floor?

    I should add that I used epoxy in my hardtops where I had to replace rotted wood in those (see profile pic). I wanted the extra strength in that area. I also am using marine grade plywood everywhere.
