hi again,
I've got yet another interesting question which some of you with more experience can likely say a few words to... I was out testing my project boat on the trailer, and ensuring the bilge pump would work right by putting the plug in the boat and filling the back end with a few inches of water. Well the bilge pump works great, however, when putting the boat plug in I felt that the wood between the inner and outer fiberglass was a wee bit slimy and the hole perhaps not as narrow as I'd like to have to ensure the plug stays in securely. What can I do here to fix this up? An idea was to get some fiberglass resin and put a thin coat in the hole as to seal things, narrow up the hole width, and strengthen the inner hole for the plug. Or perhaps a newer plug would be a big thicker... btw, the boat is a 70's era 15.5 fiberglass. I feel that the rest of the transom is fine, just this part around the hole seems to be a bit questionable. thanks Chris |
