Title: Bow eye back up block
Post by: someguy1222 on April 19, 2016, 09:56:31 PM

I just removed my bow eye and found the wood back up block rotted where it meets the hull. I've got a spare piece of kd Doug for I plan on using to replace it. I've heard different things about how to glass this in. Should I glass it all the way around, encasing it, or just run a couple strips of glass over it, leaving the ends exposed?

After my experience with my hull, I would suggest coping it with "peanut butter" and a layer of glass to seal it in.  Resin, chop, and cabo sil (peanut butter) has impressed me from transom to bulkhead to gauge relocation.

Just my opinion though.
