Ok, I turned the boat over and started addressing the deck. Noticed someone had put some sort of caulk on stearn side of the splash guard. It had gaps in it and none on the bow side but in any case it looked cheesy. I was a little nervous about unscrewing the stainless screws it was held down with not knowing if a block would fall down. I unscrewed a few and peeked. Looks like someone has pulled off the guard because it was cracked on both ends and glassed the whole backside then painted green again. They also used the method of plastic inserts and screws to re-attach the guard. All in all they did a real good job except the cheesy attempt at putting caulk as an edger.
Question, if a guard is ok except a little dull and cleaning old caulk off, what's the best way to get color back and shiney? Then I'll re-attach with no caulk.
