Re: Peep Holes

OK just cut a square about 6 inch by 4 inch in the floor there is water underneath, and also it as 3/4 plywood and there is 2inch of foam starting the inside panel going to the middle of the boat at 6 inch of foam. Can i used any kind of Foam or when re-doing the entire floor i dont put any??? Lucky a bit i am checking now need to rebuilt the floor before Juin 15 th 2011. The boat is a 14ft grew fiberglass the year i dont know.

Re: Peep Holes

You can use 2" foam insulation board or 2 part foam available from many suppliers.....however, you need to find out if the water did any damage and how it got there. You might have more damage as you dig deeper. Go slow.

This what i have found after looking at water coming out of screw hole, the foam is all soak, and i can see just from that square i cut that the wood as black spot on it , but now would any kind of foam will do the trick or it as to be floating foam , the boat looks like it as foam from one end to the other. Today i am removing the fiberglass on top of the wood and taking the plywood. I will post picks on the way .

Re: How to Glue the Transom

That's what I used.
Some would lay resin on both sides that are to be joined together and 1 layer of 1.5 oz matt in between and then clamp together.

Re: How to Glue the Transom

thanks , but witch one will hold better , do you think PL is better since it is wood compressing each other, but they say that with the resin etc.. will prevent water getting in between the ply. And i am using 5/8 outdoor wood should be ok with that i guess.
