Demodification

Felt I needed to replace the thru hull fittings in the bow.


Noticed a small crack beginning in one of the fittings.

But got to thinking the best coarse would be to just fill the holes.


Cut a couple pieces of ½ “ thick glass and bolted with 10/24 flat heads, countersunk, * *locknutted, and 5200ed.

Then filled the holes with Evercoat and finished off with Marine Tex.

Think I’ll walk down to the dock while the Marine Tex cures out to see what I can aggravate. ;D ;D

Don't forget to top coat to seal, It can and will absorb water.

Great Job!!

Hey thanks for the great lesson in hull repair. I have never had to deal with it yet till now.
That stuff work on bullet holes too? Had a little trouble with the Coast guard this weekend. Standard safety check, then I dropped the name Charlie the Tuna next thing I know hot lead is flying everywhere. They shot my V up pretty bad. A lessor boat would have sunk for sure. Im lucky to be alive! Whats up with that CTT? 8)
