Deck Glassed to Transom
|
|
In a few spots I had a gap between the splashwell and the transom. To fill this I first climbed under the splashwell (there's not much room under there, especially for a bloke my size) and glassed some mat under the join. For those who haven't done much fiberglassing, glassing the underside of things is not easy as gravity is not working in your favour and getting started is difficult as you need to hold the mat in place while trying to wet it through. Furthermore resin tends to drip down on you just to add to the experience.
When the glass hardened I made a batch of bondo from polyester resin & microspheres and bogged up the top of the transom and filled any gaps at the join. When this hardened I sanded it flat (that stuff is a DREAM to sand!) and the result was great.
I could have left it at this (many boats are) but I believe bog will crack (look down two photos at the transom under the motor when I took the trim off). I therefore fiberglassed the whole lot together. This will be alot more work as I'll need to feather the glass but I'll be 100% confident that the joint will stand up to anything.
