Hiya,

I have a 15Ft Fibreglass half cabin (Carribean Sandpiper). It developed a
crack in the gelcoat and took on a bit of water, That has all been patched
and sorted, but I want to install an inspection port in the deck. Is there
way to work out if there are supports under the floor, or are the more
likely to be in certain areas, I do not really want to cut/damage them
installing the port. Any ideas thanks

Alan



Alan,

Assuming you'd prefer the inspection port be toward the stern????

Take out the drain bung/plug(s) & put a piece of heavy wire, thin dowel
or whatever & use it to feel around in there.

You can then know where you intend the inspection port to be is clear
of underfloor stuff.

Prepare yourself for some sad looking uncovered underneath plywood when
you cut the hole:-)
