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.

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.

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.
