    Putting things back on the boat

    Just about ready to start reinstalling trim tabs. I’ve epoxied up the old holes. Now it’s time to redrill and put things back. What’s the best way to seal the screws as I reinstall? Any guidance would be appreciated.

    Not sure you need seal with old timers or Thompsons. never heard anyone doing that. just be sure to saturate the wood with resin prior to installing. That will seal the wood just fine.

    I’ve got a gallon of rustoleum white paint that I’m considering using it to paint my entire bildge and engine bay. Is this a bad move or not?

    Math problem

    Well I’m no math wiz but here’s my thinking 50:1 ratio in a one gallon tank would mean 2.6 oz of 2 cycle oil is needed. In a 6 gallon tank you would need 15.6 ( roughly 16) oz of 2 cycle oil. Since you had only 1 gallon of fuel in the tank and you put in 16 oz. You would need to add roughly 5...

    Is this trim end cap usable?

    I’d try and get the surface where the last last washer sits a bit cleaner. Emory paper? and be sure the channel where the final c clip that holds the washer in place is clean. Since the seals are inside the cap you should be good to go. Good luck

    7-5 More progress. Finished replacing the after locker. Used polyester resin in 90 temps. Stuff was kicking off in like 10 minutes. 🤣 Made small batches about 8 oz at a time. dry fit the board. tabbed in with 6 in wide csm. Very happy with how it came out. A little paint and she will look purdy.
