I took plastic sheeting cut into 5 inch strips. I wiped some wax on them and then glassed 2 layers of 2 ounce matt to the waxed surface.
These were then screwed to the gunnel cap at the locations that need to be filled in.
After the glass dries the plastic will come out and the glass will stay making good backing to fill in these locations. I will reinforce the front and back sides of these areas. I left them long so they can be trimmed once glassing is complete.
I extended the floor to the transom and cut out an area for the scuppers.
I wasted about 2 hours today trying to figure out how to make the old scuppers work. I liked that they dipped down into a little bowl before going out the transom. I finally scraped the idea and will go with something else.
The transom cap preped for tabbing to the hull. I ground a 3 inch area were the 1708 tape will adhere to.
tempory cleats help to keep the cap in a level position.
Tape cut to length and ready to be glassed. The stuff on top will glass the cap to the inside of the transom.
Tabbed into place.
when this dries I will glass the outside of the cap to the transom.
