    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Been some time posting these images. Transom is in but not sealed all the way. Want to wait until I see how much filler I will need when I place the splash well back on. The floor is glassed. I still have one section in the bow to glass in. Where you see those 2x4 i removed that lip there and...

    Tie down caliper mounting bracket

    Yeah I just checked my order status and it says its still processing since the 29th. Looks like it may not come. My advise to all that order from websites they are not familiar with, make sure you use a credit card and not debt card. I will update on this item no issues except its still...

    Tie down caliper mounting bracket

    LOL. We use to have on here in Damascus behind the Fire Station but they closed down. I had them weld some hanger for a fuel tank for a Grady I had. Fairly inexpensive to my surprise but over 8 years ago.

    Tie down caliper mounting bracket

    Giving the thickness of the plate and the fact that it has lost some of the metal you think this will still work? Most I see using these could go up a bolt size but I have a slider pin that must fit the caliper and the thread...

    Tie down caliper mounting bracket

    E I thought about this until I found a reasonable price for the item with shipping. At first I thought it was one of those parts that you have to buy a caliper with it to get the bracket.

    Tie down caliper mounting bracket

    Actually I went there and they wanted like $28.00 to ship it and the part was about $32 and only 2 lbs. that was crazy. I orded the slider pin from easternmarine and it was $7.00 and $9.00 to ship. that was crazy too only place that had it.

    Tie down caliper mounting bracket

    Yes the plate is striped. I removed it yesterday and tried to tap it with 7/16-20 but it just wiggles as the slider pin screws in. @dingbat I found one yesterday from a website that I did not want to order from because I am not familiar with it. They had them for $14 and $10 flat rate shipping...

    Tie down caliper mounting bracket

    2021 I had a shop install actuator, calipers etc on my trailer to get through inspection. 2024 I am doing maintenance on the trailer brakes as the starboard side caliper locked up on me. What I found during my break down of the brakes was a bit disturbing that the mechanic now fired from the...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I purchase these jack plates years ago when working on my Grady but never used them. 4" setback up to 5" inch left. I was thinking about adding this on the transom. It would not restrict me to just getting a 20" engine I could go to 25". I also was thinking about rigging... I notice most center...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Added a second layer of 1708 on the transom. With the second layer the inside skin looks thicker than the outside. I am planning on added 1 1708 and 1 layer of csm on the outside. Went on and started glassing the hull with a layer of 1708 instead of making templates. I figured this will need to...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Grinded out the bubbles in the corners where I filled the gaps between the transom and hull with putty from not having the right fin roller when I did the first layer. Makita made light work of the new 1708 with little noise, love this sander.

    It says laminating resin on the bottle and it says stays tacky contains no wax for better adhesion.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I am noticing that the first 2 gallons of Total Boat Polyester resin from Amazon is not staying tacky when I return the next day. When I return its a slick as it can be minus the stitches from the 1708.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Resin came in yesterday. Got 1 layer of 1708 on the transom. I will need to do some sanding before the next layer. Brought over the 1 fin roller and it was a fat one. Meant to bring that fat one, 2 small on 1 corner roller. I will grind out a few spots with the 1" Makita belted sander and fill...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I had a hole off the side of the keel. I fixed that, placed some plastic tape on the outside of the hull. Grinded out about double the size of the hole. Added 5 layers of CSM from small to large. Then added a layer of 1708 on top. I have not gotten to the underside of the hull yet. The rest of...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Might not be possible since the deck is at the water line and not above. The brown of the under side of the boat is where the deck gets glued to the hull. Big engine will have me squat in the water. I will not try it. Didnt hardly get anything done yesterday. Went over twice and forgot to bring...
