Hi Scotty , when I replace that pad for the bilge pumps I used composite , that way you don't have to worry about water rotting the wood through the screw holes . I used Star board for those types of pads and Marine plywood for the transom and stringers . Keep up the good work . Cheers RG .

i would have thought you simply needed to use a layer of chopstrand mat and resin instead of plexus... so i guess i am wrong? |

Everyone seems to have different ideas. I know the plexus bonds and holds very well and by troweling it on I can insure 100% coverage with no air pockets! It’s costly, but it’s my personal boat and I want to do it the best way I know of. I will also plexus the stringers in then glass everything together so it looks good . |
