Hey sorry for the extended 2 month delay. Weather was bad for weeks any chance I had some time off to do anything. And as it does usually, other things took precedent of my time, unfortunately.
But to the original topic, I'm fairly convinced everything that is sealed on this thing is sealed...
Sorry its been raining pretty heavy here the last couple days haven't had the chance to take a better look and get some pictures.
still open to any other suggestions or if a rubber gasket alone by itself would be safe?
I thought about that as well if rubber gaskets would be sufficient enough but I feel like some sort of sealant would still be required since the texture of the hull of the boat isn't completely flat its got a sort of pitted/wavy finish the way its designed (not very coarse but still a texture)...
They obviously had to seal these fittings with something that clearly works well at the factory when they are manufactured.
I might have to try and give Sun Dolphin or one of the other companies a call to see if they will tell me what they use from factory.
Any help is appreciated.
Hey guys and gals,
So I'm in the process of restoring/rebuilding a BassTender 11.3 Plastic (Polyethylene) Jon Boat.
I believe its the same material as all the other plastic jon boats out there (Bass Hound, Bass Raider, Pond Prowler, etc), which is polyethylene plastic (HDPE I believe).
I am...
