Our boat locker lids. Probably the least of our worries, but since we had a bit of gelcoat left. Alex decided to fix em' up!
We have 4 large and 2 small ones on the front deck, 3 in the cockpit and another 2 on the lazarettes.
 |
| Larger ones on the deck. Before - this one actually doesn't look too bad |
 |
| Removing the foam strip - leaves a very stubborn sticky residue |
 |
| After cleaning the sticky stuff off |
 |
| After sanding |
 |
| The two smaller deck locker lids |
 |
| Fiberglass cut out |
 |
| Polyester resin applied (Alex hates using polyester resin normally, but if he uses epoxy, the Gelcoat may have adherence issues unless he uses an expensive primer) |
 |
| After 1st coat of gelcoat |
 |
| Fiberglass on, Gelcoat on |
 |
| Drying under the boat |
 |
| The battery compartment lid |
 |
| The 2 cockpit locker lids |
All done and ready to be returned to active duty... that is, once he buys & applies some more foam for the lip seal - not an easy task here in Trinidad!
