Outboard well--Plug Ideas?
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:59 pmFrom: Karl010203 (Original Message) Sent: 13/05/2008 17:21
Hey All,
I am chasing some inspiration on how best to plug the outboard well, when outboard has been removed.
I am lucky enough to have inherited the cut out from the previous owner and will look to glass on some tabs - but short of glassing a couple of bolts in place am searching for a good way to secure this.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Regards
Karl

Hi Karl,
I have a 15HP yanmar inboard and a fibreglass liner in the outboard well to maintain the hull shape. Above this are a couple of timber rails on either side and the old timber mount for the outboard. I cut and varnished a piece of ply to sit above the rails and the and outboard mounting timber. Simple and works OK as a low safe seat for the grandchildren when they are aboard.
I had thought about a making a fibreglass fitting or a thick plastic fitting (perhaps fashioned from a kitchen cutting board) but I had some ply so it was a case of the bird in the hand.
Cheers,
Mark
