The area where I had the screws to set the level did
come out well and that's the most important point since the outdrive

You could rough it up and fill with low density fairing compound,
even bondo if you store out of the water. Sand it flat, apply gel
coat and it should look great. Gel coat is brittle and it will crack
if you get it too thick using as a filler.


I think it's still pretty thin in the problem spots so I'm going to add some
more gelcoat. I want to carry it up a bit further as well. Like wallboard
mud, half of it will probably end us as dust on the floor, yukyuk.
