    Old Coast Guard Horn

    Look for some type of polarity marking where the wires attach. Usually if its dc there is a mark. Ac dont matter so they dont mark it. But i bet the coil is shot

    Cloth or not

    Epoxy or poly? If its poly put some mat in between. The fibers help fill the gaps and valleys between the plys and give the brittle resin its strength. Epoxy.... i dont think it matters too much but use cloth, not mat if you add glass

    Heavy weight seat mounts & swivels

    $250 might cover a 5 gal bucket of resin. I went thru 10? I think for my 21' cuddy. Then add glass cloth,ppe,consumables and other supplies.... i would work out the budget before getting too deep and not being able to finish and not being able to sell cuz you cut it up.

    Lag Bolt Hole Striped (Engine Mount To Hull)

    You could make a 1/4 inch thick dowel piece, drill a hole in it like a washer and glue that in. It will eliminate a void to collect water. Glue in, sand flush and when you install if you use a bit of 3m 4200 it will be sealed frim water

    Quick transom stripping

    Bottom 6" of my transom was rotten. The rest was good wood and for the most part bonded well. I cut the first section and started to peel. Took forever and was unable to separate the last ply from the glass. So I broke out the 9" grinder with a 24 grit pad on it and sanded and sanded .......3...
