    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I did that before with grinder and yes edges are inconsistent. I always learn how to use new tools working on boats ;)

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I simply want to remove the sharp edge of the plywood so the 1708 can lay over it better.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Its just being used to hold the stringers in place. Its denominational lumber. I would be all year rounding the edges with a wood block. I would look like Popeye when done💪 I am going to use the wood. Just was wondering some opinion on it.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Went over to the boat yesterday to make some templates for bulkheads. Manage to template out 4. It was a nice day in Maryland should have done some glass work and more shaping on the stringers. I used glue gun and some Contractor shims from Home Depot to make my templates. This method works very...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Here is a video of someone using foam. I would not do it this way but its the foam you asked about. My boat sides are thin. I will glass them with 1708 as I move up from the deck. I am mainly placing foam in the sides for vibration/sound and adding the ribs for reinforcement with structure. I...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Spliced the other set of stringers together and created more jigs to hold into place. Looking at the outer stringers from the image it seems like a tight fit to lay fabric down. I forgot to get a visual check but I think it will be okay. Might have to use the pizza cutter type roller in that...

    Created 8 ft center stringers. I need to extend 32 more inches to make as far front as I am going. Dry fitted this morning with 2 jigs to hold them in place.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I will see. I will try to fix that small hole I grind thru the hull. Small section just to try it out. Might have to get me one of those propane heaters.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Yeah it may fall if a nice wind come through. I am not using the halogen bulbs they are Incandescent but they still make some heat. I will find something to do in the mean time as I plan ahead.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Went over yesterday and tested the heat lamps. Only tested 1 lamp in a small section while doing work on my other trailer. Surface temps were at 34 degrees and end up at the time I unplugged 72. Image was about 10 minutes after starting. I have a cooler with a heat pad to keep the resin warm. I...

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    Went over this morning just to try and bleed again. I raised the tongue of the trailer a bit. Bleed the port first. Got a good stream no bubbles. Starboard side crack the valve and got fluid but not a steady stream. It was bubbly then i tighten the valve a bit and got a slow stream with no bubbles.

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    Also I was thinking since my tongue is at its lowest point and the wheels are on jacks the fluid will flow forward while air moves back. Maybe I have the tongue too low also.

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    I actually ordered a pair of Kodiak calipers back on the other post but I sent them back because I realized after I had them they will not fit the Tie Down caliper bracket. I am going to order a pair of the same calipers Tie down and order a rebuild kit for the old ones. The old ones I will...

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    Yes I think I can. Here is what the manual says. 1. On a bare axle attach mounting plate to the brake flanges on the axle. Preferred position is at “12:00” high or to the back side. Exact positioning will be determined by the brake flange. Use 7/16”x1-1/4” zinc hex bolts, lock nuts/washers and...

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    Drum brakes from what I was told wont hold up well in salt/brackish water which is why I went with disc brakes. Drum brakes seem more complicated to me but I could be wrong. Never worked on either. This is my first. My wheels are on a small hill with the axle on jack stands. The front is lowered...

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    That obvious never even cross my mind. That was my decision maker to buy 2 new ones. I just pulled the rubber piston boot up with a seal remover and add some of the brake lube in the area exposed. I know how air got into the system. When I loosen the bleeder all the way i move the actuator...

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    That thought occurred to me later in the day. As this is a part (bleeder) that should be movable.

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    Setting at its lowest point. Seems to be working both. Thanks. I was unsure if Teflon would be okay. Looking at some thread sealant now.
