    1981 Sportcraft 270 repair underway - transom, stringers, & repower

    Transom install is a 2 person job simply because of the prefabricated weight on this size boat. I installed 2 kitchen cabinet handles on the transom in order to lift and position. Practice it a couple of times like Jas says. Also if you are using tightbond etc. do NOT tab for @72 hours the...

    They can be used for thru hull fixtures like a seacock assembly or simply used to mount other things like bilge pumps, water pump. They are encapsulated pcs. of wood. Typically cause you don't want to drill into the hull.

    On your tabbing the 1st pc should come out @ 3" the next pc. overlaps so @6" Wet on wet is the best chemical bond period. The next technique is called mechanical bonding. The glues and glass we use today were not the same as 10 yrs ago. It takes some time to get the feel for that. Their is no...

    3" and 6" for tabbing to hull is good. Wet out all wood and voids prior to glassing and let dry. Otherwise the wood sucks the resin out of the glass if you don't. 1708 is perfect.

    The Tin Mule Resto

    The Tin Mule Resto

    Been there done that Sam. Its all a learning curve. Besides real men don't read instructions anyway. LOL! I wouldn't think you could varnish over an epoxy because its sealed anyway by the epoxy. So am I wrong on that concept?
