![]()
ok - so last we saw, the keel had a hole in it, and I wanted to brace the transom with a knee, to stiffen and prevent any further cracks from developing in the splashwell, or transom corners - as seen
![]() so tonight I crawled underneath, ground off the gel coat around the transducer hole, and beveled the hole out a little - I had already slabbed a couple pieces of 3/4 ply on each side with RW and thickened epoxy here is the partially filled keel hole, and the knee brace ![]() and here is another shot of the knee - it's two shorter pieces of 3/4 ply bonded to one longer one, which is slabbed onto the side of the keel, again with epoxy soaked RW and filled epoxy butter ![]() I ran the knee up to the top of the inside transom stiffener plate, both of which end right below where the splashwell comes up to the transom ![]() Tomorrow night I'll go back and tab the knee into both the keel and the transom support plate. Then I should be positioned to put the outer skin back on this weekend. Bill |
