Winter Projects List - Lets See Em!

[ian ashton]

I finally got to spend some quality time with the boat to get some projects under way! Because I'm planning to put the 6V batteries in the rear engine hatch area (not quite sure exactly where yet) I wanted to get the lockers done - so I ripped out the carpet and started scraping the glue - what a joyous job that is! I took photos of that process, but they don't look like anything - photographing black fiberglass in a dimly lit warehouse, go figure!

A while back I ordered a large (47" x 86") sheet of gray cut groove Hydroturf with adhesive backing - I was pleasantly surprised that the material is very similar to the feel of SeaDek, but a bit cheaper.

So I brought the carpet home and used it as a template to cut the Hydroturf - hoping to get to the boat tomorrow or Monday to test fit and possibly install. Next up will be batteries and ProSport!

Rather than draw on the product itself I chose to put tape around the perimeter of the carpet, then draw on the tape - this way I don't have any black lines to wash out;
