took a detour on the transom project. Too cold to do fiberglasssing.
Want to mount a second bilge pump forward of the fuel tank in the "fishbox".
Floor of fish box is soft anyways so I cut the bottom out.
In pic you can see the wet foam coring in the fishbox bottom and you can see a bunch of loose resin cement (looks like dog poop) partially blocking the bilge tube that goes under the fuel tank. I have always had intermittent trouble with the front of the boat draining properly.
Going to ditch the old bottom skin and foam of the box and use leftover pourable compound to stiffen it. Going to box out the new bilge pump and leave clear access to it and to the tube that passes under the tank.
