It's all the fiddly stuff now.
I have been working on the console, painting and cutting holes. Getting close:
Not the best photo, the light is harsh and it's just a cell phone camera.
The stuff is all just resting in place... I still have two more coats of paint, I think. i have since cut out the remaining holes for the controls, the tilt/trim switch. and the overheat alarm.
Hooked up fuel fill and vent hoses to new fill on gunwale. If I had trusted my measurements I could have just had a single run from the Perko fill/vent down to the tank, but to be safe I ran hose from the fill and from the tank, and cut/joined them in the middle.
Also finished filling various transom holes with epoxy fairing putty, sanded and prepped, then gel coated over the repairs. The gel coat is of course much whiter than the original, so I'll have to decide whether to gel coat the entire transom or paint it.
Baitwell aerator pump is installed and plumbed.
The other thing I have been working on is a flange to seal the seam between the top and the hull at the back of the motor well. There is quite a gap there, 1/2" in some places. There were a couple of brittle old pieces of plastic covering parts of it before, but those did not seal well. So I decided to make a one piece cover that I will install with sealant.
First I duct taped over the gap, then I covered it with thick poly sheeting:
Then I laid up a couple layers of 1208 over that, and put epoxy fairing putty over the rough spots
Still needs some more fairing and sanding before I trim it and then will gel coat over the outside.
