Cig TG Transom Replacement HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I am Replaceing a Transom on a 1990 Cig TG, converting it to Bravo from Trs.

I wanted to know what layup schedule is being used.

Im going to Bond 3, 1/2 Plywood with 3/4 OZ Mat, but I need to know what Material layup to finish.

I remember seeing on the site a schedule but I cant find it.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

two or three layers of 1708 with two more layers of 1708 tabbing around the perimeter.

heres one of my illustrations, had to dig it out of a thread here. im on my tablet with none of my atrwork. for a stouter old school layup add another layer of 1708 and use vinylester. also look into raising the x dim to something better suited to a B1 prop.

Glassdave, thanks for your reply,

How do I stick the wood to the transom, I was thinking of using a Puddy. Resin, Chopped Fiber.


Frank

if you have a nice flat surface you just put down a layer of 1.5 oz mat and screw it together, it will squish out the excess resin if done right. I laminate the two (or three) panels together the day before i want to install.



I gotta get my book done :D up to twenty two chapters. Funny thing is compiling the info was no prob but the pics i have documenting jobs over the years are almost unusable. I am having to find specific tasks covered and re document everything lol. Got millions of pics just not many that i can use. Thanks god i am good at illustrations :cool:

Dave if it is any help, you have my boat. Fell free to do a complete regel/blueprint job on the bottom and complete surface prep and paint on the rest of the hull. I have a decent camera and will fully document the progress in piks That should complete a few chapters, I know its a lot of work but I can even video several steps (all catalogued in DVD format) for you if you decide to publish in a multimedia format. Anything to help a friend!!

Glassdave, hey im curious would this 2300 sx sport be of any use for your video and pic needs, i have started removing the flooring port side so far, down to removing the water soaked foam. I have already been documenting everything as i have worked up to his point. Hell maybe i can even elist the professional side of this project LORD KNOWS i could use the extra help. Thanka s let me know oh, and soon as i get to needing those materials i will be in touch with you. Cant tell ya how much i appreciated the phone call today, seemed it come just at a point were i needed.

How long until you finish your book dave???
