Cabin roof structure
by Rick Langer 01 Mar '05

Thanks Jerry, it's really great having the official answer on such things. I'm installing a wire through the cabin roof for a masthead tricolor light. I guess I'll drill a hole larger than I need so I can get plenty of epoxy in there before I try sealing the wire.

3 Question
by RandyG 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Friends, Thanks for all your help! Have 3 questions. 1- How is the best way to remove teak bungs/plugs? Is it best to drill a hole smaller than the bung and then chip out the rest? Or, is it best when removing the bung to drill a size bigger than the bung and use a larger size when replacing? Or? I've tried the smaller hole route and am thinking there must be a better way. 2- Does anyone have a suggestion of how best to repair small-medium gelcoat nicks and gouges? Is there like a body putty for fiberglass? How do you color match and touch up the paint? Can you buy touch-up Gelcoat? 3- In shopping for replacement fenders for the rusted trailrite, I see that I can buy either Black Iron or Galvanized. The trailer is painted and I would want the fenders to be painted also. Galvanized seems like a better choice to resist corrosion, but is galvanized meant to be painted? Or, if you are primer/painting is it just as well to go with Black Iron? Thanks So Much for all your help! Sincerely, Randy Graves M15 #407 M17 #410
