    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Took the water tank out, only good thing is since I just did replace it a few years ago it came out a bit easier the second time around. This is inside the aft cabin with the mirror removed. I used a saw last time to cut up through the fist layer because other wise it could not be removed...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    A twenty year old boat and it has 544 hours, while the Gen only has 90 hours. Pulled the Gen and all they did was mount a 3/4 piece of plywood with three pieces of 3/4 on the sides and then tried to put foam under it. There were some staples used on the port side next to the wood between the...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Started chiseling away at the wood between the stringer on the port side and have made it more then half way through and no glass. So it looks like the stringer stops at the lower bulkhead. Guess this is a good and bad thing. When I pull the water tank out I'll also be able to get to the other...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Looks like there are dips in the stringers front and rear to allow water to drain into the bilge. Appears the more moisture there is the easier the fiberglass and wood comes off. It's even easier to cut through the wood. The pics today all happened today and the previous post were several...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Got back into the transom and after many hours I managed to get the starboard side down to mostly glass. It has been a real bear to get the wood off the glass, it's stuck real good. Rad into screws about every 6 or 8 (both sides) inches which Formula used to hold all the layers together. Once...

    Formula 27PC Complete Power plant rebuild

    Guess the S comes from the diverter to Y-pipe connection. If I had Gils instead EMI there would be more options. Gils even have diverters which are sealed off through the diverter to help with reversion, seen them on 525 and 600's. The one here is also appears to be a Gil which has been...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    What a lot of work, I'm beat. Cut out the one side and tapper cut the top of the stringer off. Under the boxed section there was a bit of damp plywood. After digging all the foam out that was the only thing damp, everything else is glass coated. Will do some more digging tomorrow.

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Spent some hours doing some demolition and I have found the top of the rot. It is a bit below my last cut. The black seen is adhesive because I cannot get the wood off with a chisel, going to need to sand it off. Dug into both sides and the rot goes back in behind the stringers. As before...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Well took a couple pics but didn't get around to doing anything today. Needed to get in the dump truck and go get a few loads of rock while the weather is good. If I have the whole thing will come pout but I'm pretty sure it would not go back in, in one piece. Looking at the hatch opening and...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Thanks guys, just had another idea and this way I can get at the wood behind the stringers. In the pic below I marked the stringers and a box to each side of it. What do you think if I cut the outside over this area to get at the wood? Pros Cons??

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Thought the starboard side would be the worst but turns out it's the port is. Dug all the way until was hitting some solid wood. Port side is at the stringer and it had a little bit of water in the bottom. There is a gap between the bottom glass and wood so guess that's why I found a bit of...
