Water trapped between hull and ski locker subfloor

[gregski]

A hole saw is really overkill for this. The cut doesn't need to be perfect; any imperfections are covered by the deck plate (ok only within reason but easily 1/4" of slop)
Here's a 4 pack of rotozip bits for $7:

definitely had water below the ski locker (it was a given)

lesson learned, wear gloves while cutting fiberglass.. feels like i have a million slivers

Foam Removed


Money Shot


Tools Used

borrowed that adjustable drill doohicky from the nieghbour... worked amazing btw if you can't find a 4.5" hole saw

in the end, i got about 5-6L out of the hole.. there will probably be more that settles

So I didn't read the whole thread but why are you doing this again? Trying to remove excess water weight?!

to remove standing water below the floor... water sitting on fiberglass... probably not ideal.

It's not going to do anything to fiberglass. If it was 100 gallons is be concerned about extra fuel usage.

Then there's (potential for) the nasty swampy smell after time...

[parrothd]

Guess I learned that lesson early, never open anything that could have nasty smell.. Unplugged refrigerators, boat cavities/bilges and ovens with leftover hotdogs in water from the last party..
