Nida-Core Electrical Box (E-Box) Project

[Night_Sailor]

Unfortunately, I lost of few of the hard top images I took. I've tabbed together the major pieces. The four corners are complex curves I scrapped my first attempt as it didn't fit well with the hardtop frame. I had some balsa core and decided to use that on two of the corners to see how it looked before doing the other side.

Using a variety of supports I glassed in the bottom side. Today I pulled out the grinder and smoothed out boat sides. The follow pictures show the top side ready for some filler and then fiberglass.


The corners will be rounded off, so I have to cut away some of the excess material. It's raining now, so I can't test fit it. Perhaps I'll make a template and cut from that, as I'd like to glass both these corners today.



In the mean time, my new chartplotter/fishfinder came in. I have one of the first of these RayMarine eS78's. I have a piece of 1/2" mahogany marine plywood that I'll use to flush mount this. I'm gluing the backing and cutting the plywood next.


Soon, I'll be painting. Nothing but paint in the following picture.
