classic SS SC emblems

[jaybap]

Regarding the SS seacraft emblems on the mosely site, are you guys using the x-large or the the standard size?? Also are you drilling it right into the hull, and if so what are you using on the screws? 5200?

I used the standard size, mounted to a piece of varnished mahogany with short wood screws, because I felt that provided more contrast to highlight the emblem than just mounting it on the white hull. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...ipics006-1.jpg I used No. 10 machine screws to mount the wood to the boat, via drilled and tapped holes in the fiberglass. I always mount stuff to fiberglass this way if I'm not thru-bolting it, because the machine screws stay tight; DON'T use sheet metal screws . . . the sharp edges on the threads act like knives and will eventually cause the screws to loosen up! No sealant or 5200 is required.
