The set back with the floor has now been rectified. I bought about 30 M2 of Chopped, Stranded Mat (CSM) Fibreglass, and using plenty of resin I have relayed the floor. This time it is “Spotty Dog”!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is with two layers applied.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the final layer of glass in and the seat bolt positions opened up, the job looked much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the next stage should be applying the top coat. This is where I ran into a new problem. Top coat is a resin based product, and like resin, is sold by weight. i bought 1 KG, which came in a tin, but it isn’t a “Tin full”. In fact it is half a tine full, which isn’t enough. So I have to order another tin to have enough for this installation. It has to be laid in one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, instead, I removed the old Eagle depth finder and fitted the Garmin Chart plotter \/ Sonar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a slightly interesting problem with the transducer. Typically the holes of the old transducer did not suit the new one, so I had to drill the transom, upon which it started leaking water. Message to Melvyn on this one as this is not good news! However, once the leak stopped I fitted the transducer anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
