Hi All,
I am getting ready to have my boat put up on stands to complete a repair on my boat. I have a crack in the keel trunk case. I have no idea how it happened, but the water leak has been driving me nuts since I purchased the boat. See pictures. I tried to lift the boat off the bunks high enough to get under the boat to do the repair but I don’t have the right equipment to do it safely and it started to get pretty sketchy in a hurry. I have an appointment at a do-it-yourself marina on January 4. The marina is in Berkeley and I live in Sacramento, so it's a bit of a drive.
I plan to sand the area and grind out crack and bevel. Layer fiberglass cloth with unthickened epoxy. Let set, but before fully set, fair with epoxy thickened with filler. Let dry and sand smooth.
I don't want to miss a step in the process, so if any of you have any tips or insights, I am all ears!
Thanks,
Kevin
