Default Re: Leaning Post/ Livewell

Thanks Fellowship but I still have so much work to do and so little time to do it. The boat still has to be sanded and painted and I still need to figure out what I'm going to do about my bracket. I think I need to take a week off soon and get some beer and get to work!

Sunday I had a little time to make a flange for the livewell that fits over the rectangular opening of the leaning post. As you can see in the previous pics there is a gap of about 1.5 inches down to the livewell. I wanted to seal this area off. The flange fits snug around the outer lip of the livewell top. This was an easy thing to make out of a few scrap pieces of MDF. I just wiped some wax on the mini mold when it was finished and then layed up 2 layers of 1708. It poped right off easily when it hardened. Here are a few pics of it in the raw form. I have to cut and grind it still. I still have to figure out what kind of lid I want for the livewell.
