I am replacing all the wood in a 89 Sunray I/O 185 bowrider. I would never have attempted this without being inspired by the help and advice provided through this blog.
I have the floor, foam, engine outdrive and transom wood removed. I have the transom plywood fabricated, ready to go in. At this point I have a few questions.
1. What adhesive would you recommend to attach the transom wood to the remaining transom glass. I will be covering it in polyester and glass, is polyester resin ok?
2. The (shelf) area above the transom is unreachable to remove the gelcoat. Would glass and poly adhere to the gelcoat? I can sand it by hand, but thats about it. I would like to overlap about 4in.
3. I have some minor dry rot in the remaining floor that extends under the open bow structure. I cannot replace this without removing the cap. I am considering using GitRot on these areas, what is your opinion?
I have lots of pics, I will post them as I go.
Again, thank you all for your posts and advice.
