Sounds like you did a good job. Did you take any before & after pics? (Or did you forget to take the before pics, like me?... Duh)!
Post them if you've got them! One question though, why West and not just fiberglass resin and matt as that's what the boat was originally made from. Not...
The auto bailer and the brass drain fitting are sold separately. You'll need 2 different sized drill bits, a drill and a tube of silicone. I used 3M 4200 Marine sealant instead of silicone... It's good stuff!
The instructions are pretty straight forward. Don't forget to use the sealant when...
Hey Andy,
I just did a mast step repair. Check out this thread if you haven't already. I've included some pics.
I used a 5" inspection port. It was plenty big enough to do all the work. Simply trace the inside of the portion of the part that you will mount in the hole. That will give you a...
I removed the cockpit brass collar drain assembly, removed all the silicone and cleaned up the surrounding area. I reinstalled it using 3M 4200 sealant then installed an automatic bailer. Although it wasn't very windy on the weekend, after 3 hours of sailing there wasn't one drop of water inside...

I sail my boat on a lake in northern Ontario which is part of the Trent Waterway System. Lift locks at both ends so you can go from lake to lake, on & on... In other words, it's a well traveled.
When I had my Sea-Doo's, we used to get pulled over by the Police all the time. They would check...
Actually, I had 2 - 1996 Sea-Doo XP's stolen a couple years ago. Mind you, they were on a trailer in my brother's driveway at the time. After a year-long fight with my insurance company, they finally paid up. I never replaced them. They were fun but with the price of gas these days, they'd be a...
Between sailing on weekends, I keep my new acquisition (1975 # 29355 cottage beater) on my friend's dock. I have it locked to his Sea-Doo with a hefty steel cable. All the bits are locked in the cottage and shed.
Question is, do hull's alone get stolen very often? I know that if you want to...
