Hello all,
I am currently in the process of fitting my inspection ports to dry out the hull on my fish, ordered 5” ports, drilled my 5” holes, lo and behold, the holes are too small. Any advice? I have 4” ports as well, but not sure any amount of 5200 would leave me comfortable knowing it would be watertight with all the play in the port itself with a 5” hole and 4” port!
additionally, I’ve been grinding out and fairing a lot of my gel coat cracing, and planned on rolling/tipping the entire deck before the season starts. Looking for more advice on what grit to start my sanding with for prep. Previous owner put down hydroturf because sailing hurt their bum. However, no amount of acetone or goo gone can get the adhesive backing that remains up! I’ll send photos if they’re needed to show that! Always appreciate the help of the forum
