SEASON 6 / The Haul Out : Episode #120 : Bottom Paint, Cockpit Drains and Seacock Bases
Hello Friends,
On this episode I show you an easy way to enlarge holes on the bottom for your boat. We needed to do this to oversize the cockpit drains from 1.25 to 1.5 so water will drain from the cockpit quicker when we take a large wave over the stern at sea… aka get pooped.
We also knock out the first coat of Antifouling paint on the bottom, which was VERY satisfying!
After that I sit down and show you how I went about making custom bases out of G10 fiberglass board for our bronze Groco Triflang seacocks. Each of the bases was tapped to receive a silicone bronze bolt that the Seacock bolts onto.
