Completed Winter jobs

Postby JamesW » 18 Oct 2016, 17:15

Ready for some warm weather and Glenbawn Dam :D !

Have wanted to be able to adjust the trim without having to reach down, pull up and lock the hand trim lever. Foot override doesn't lock which will be good for crossing wakes.

The old Oregon swim deck was starting to have it's repairs repaired, so it was time to replace. Found a nice supply of stainless tube out of an old dairy, thin wall and bends included.

Windscreen project was started 3 years ago :roll: ! The screen is glass cut from a car windscreen.

Next job is to strip hull, paint and re-varnish. Next year!

I have brought Screwit home for some much needed paint touch ups before it can go back into water this year
Really needs a full strip but that carnt happen this year.
With putty falling out of screw holes and varnish surface splitting in diferant places on the lower hull it needs to be sealed.
Carnt complain , its lasted since 2003.

Thank's

I'm not happy with the paint and epoxy products that I used. the blue paint inside the hull has not adhered and the epoxy has had issues. spar varnish next time for the clear coat. Will strip the inside of the hull and use a primer then color, not a one coat dose it all.

I'm open to suggestions of products that work!

cheers,
James
