nose cone epoxy
 

getting ready to put 2 nose cones on my bravo 1 lowers what is a good epoxy that holds up and any info would be appreciated.

Sea Goin Poxy Putty for the epoxy and USC All Metal for the filler. Very good luck with this combo.

X2 on both products. Make sure to use very aggressive sand paper (24 grit is what I use) to get a good bond to the case.

Do you think that stuff will work for piting (corroded spots)?

Has anyone used Marine Trex, and if so, do you need metal filler with it?


My nosecones are installed and on tight, but they're not blended so well. I would like to smooth everything out better, and I was considering using MT. Thoughts or other options are appreciated.

Thats what I used a while back when I re did a pair of TRS drives. I was happy how the heald up..........

Fixx
 

all metal works excellent on the pitting,,nice part is you can finish sand it with 320 and paint over it with just a few coats of zinc primer then paint it shortly after...cant tell its been repaired.

WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO GET THESE PRODUCTS

THANKS

How well does the low water pick up slots line up do you need to do some modifing on that as well and where do i get the epoxy.

Also about how long does it take per drive to do this.

Here's where I got mine to reinstall my bobs nosecone. Works great and packaged as enough for one nosecone. It was around $25.

Make sure you block sand the epoxy, it's harder than the cast aluminum. I used the epoxy to fill in the nose cone to lower unit, I had to use a belt sander to get it close, it was like sanding steel.

Some nose cones come with the epoxy. I know hydromotives do. Should be able to do them both in a 2-3 days with drying-sanding-painting.

My drive have slots in them for low water pick up how does the nose cones work with that do i need to cut slots to match or what.

That website sucks


How thick can you put on the Sea Goin Poxy Putty? And how well does it apply/smooth out with a typical applicator?
