Keeping the site alive till warmer weather. Been working on my little project and nailed it!
This underdeck compartment simulation is all soaked ply and fiber glassed.

Just clicked for me....those crazy Nazis!!

Working now - sound is very light even turned up full

 

[kcassells]

On mine I only turn it up a 1/4 notch....Go figure. I found it was put in private, then I placed in public.
Thanks for the feedback Eric.

Looks like the water is all draining out nicely now Kev!.....

BTW, who's the dork you found to narrate that vid?

Zool,
Put it this way....ElDorko isn't get paid that's for sure.

Ha!..thats good...

So was the tank filled with foam too, or just the mesh?.....the volume was too low for me to hear too.

Im assuming the other inlet tube is for running water thru the mesh with foam completely filled on top..

 

[kcassells]

2# Foam and the mesh. Kinda figured to being too redundant to show expanding foam but I have those pics also.
The other outlet would be connecting to or from the next underdeck compartment. They all are interconnected/ tied together to the bilge hence 24/7 drainage and aeration bow to stern and/or compartments of concern.
Come summer I'll have to get a small boat and demonstrate all compartments linked together.
I'll have to up to your place 1 day and see whats ya got laying around. Budget ya know.

Just take a few pieces of plywood and tack together a small triangle hull with compartments, paint it with rustoleum and fill the chambers with foam, that will be a real world boat test.

Hi Kev, the video looks really good, you had all water out that for sure and with the boat moving due to gravity you will defiantly get 99.9% out. The only troubled thing is how wet is the foam after water is drained out and with the compartment sealed how this foam will dry out to prevent the moisture to compromise the fiberglass. If like in your case, epoxy is used that doesn’t create that much a problem, but with poly that could be another story. Just my thinking.

I have a boat laying around for a demo .. You’ll need to do some grinding before you install the new stringers and transom though .. Don’t worry I have some tools you can borrow to knock it out ...
Seems to be draining well ! You may be on to something !

The beauty is the poured foam is it's encased in my foam and albeit the poured foam is called "closed" cell. The overall concept is the poured foam is not sitting in "trapped" water anymore to deteriorate it. Regardless of poly or EEpppoooxxxy application. We have water and air movement throughout.
The other benefit hardly understood is that now there is complete aeration in the underdeck compartments. Aeration promotes evaporation.This has never been achieved before with poared foam.
Thank you for you questions, keep em coming.
This has been getting developed for over 5 years.

I would take you up on that. I'll need a couple of weeks down there then get to work. Maybe.

So another 3" snow. growl...………...

 

[89 resorter]

KC, we had 4" this morning on this end of the state but most melted through the day. We had really bad winds on Sunday and Monday so I'm sure my daughter's pontoon will no longer be covered and piled with snow when we get to our camp tonight...... The Century should be safe and sound inside my building (where she had hopped her pontoon would be stored).
