The solid wood (fir etc.) strips are a good idea - I will probably go that route.
Will - I'm afraid that Teflon strips (like starboard) won't bond well. Good idea though. I'm pretty sure that the Teflon panels on airboats are screwed or riveted in place.

Was just reading PeterB's thread about the G-10 sticks and saw that you can order the G-10 in strips..
G10/FR4 Garolite Rectangular Bar 1/8" Thick, 3" Width, 4' Length That might be another option??? Kinda pricy..

Chris -
Just filling a few old holes in the bildge/stringers with epoxy and cleaning out the area where I am going to bond my new fuel tank deck. AND ... doing some much loved ![]() I am waiting on my fuel tank... (I should have the tank next week) When I get the tank in place and secure I will proceed with the rest of the transom project. Thanks for asking.. Jack

My new fuel tank should be ready in a couple of days ..
reading back on previous posts there are a variety of methods to coat the new tank - Coal Tar Epoxy POR-15 Paint Line-X Bedliner 2 Part Epoxy Paint My question is can I coat the tank with some of the RAKA epoxy that I have? I was going to clean the tank - rough it up with some 80 grit and roll on the 2 part epoxy. Is this a good or bad idea? The reason for wanting to use the epoxy is because I have it on hand ready to go. My other option is to have it powder coated with a mil spec powder coat but that will cost me about $3/sq ft AND it might take a while to have done. thanks Jack

Another question maybe someone can answer -
How are most of you routing your hydraulic steering hoses thru the transom? Are you using the SeaStar bulkhead adapters OR Running the steering hoses thru the transom in the same hole with the rest of the engine cables?

If you have a motor that has the large rubber plug, that the rigging hose connect's to. Then it would be hard to run the hyd steering hose's thru and keep it watertite.
The bulkhead fitting's make for a musch cleaner setup. Here you see the bulkhead fitting's being used and 2 short [3ft] Teleflex hose's attached to the bulkhead fitting's and then to the steering ram. ![]() |
