Front motor mount rebuild

[ampcarfan]

I would like to rebuild my front motor mount (inline 6). What is the best way to remove the old one and prepare the fiberglass in the hull? I assume I will make the new one out of 2x8's or whatever it takes to get the correct height. Bevel the ends to fit the shape of the bottom, notch out a drain and coat with resin before installation. Do I glue the boards to the hull? if so, what glue? or just set them and cover in mat and resin? or both?

Just epoxy resin it to the "ground and cleaned" hull, then lay it up in fiberglass mat to give it strength???

Do a search on "rotten motor mount" or "motor mount" should be a weeks worth of reading.

After that you will have some other questions, but it will give you a very good idea of what needs to be done and even have some pics.
