Resealing and Rebedding Fixed Ports

(1/4) > >>

Libations Too:
After avoiding this project for a couple years I decided 2015 was the year to tackle the job of resealing and rebedding the two starboard fixed ports on Libations. I am now finished! Many thanks to Selene, Alma, Sea Haven, and Dolce Vita for their helpful comments and suggestions.

My project summary is here: http://rollinscs.com/boatpages/projects2apage.htm  I have tried to gather into one place the helpful tips, comments, and previous project summaries that I found most helpful.

Sea Haven:
Richard!

Thanks soooo much for documenting this!! I plan to go forward now that I see it. The powder coating is a fantastic idea!!

Again, great job!

Now I just have to finish off my workshop to have a spot off boat to work on  on 'em.

Ain't that Marine-Tex grand? I love the stuff!!

Dolce_Vita:
Great job Richard!  And the docs are fantastic!

Libations Too:
Thanks guys...your help was critical to getting this project behind me.

I inspected the port side ports and it seems that they received the same type of "cut the channel gasket, apply silicone" fix as the starboard side. Plus, the port side ports now look really awful compared to the starboard side ports. The good thing is that a normal person can't see both sides of the boat at the same time...

Alma:
Nice job! I posted earlier that I dropped the Portside aft window over the side onto the rocky boatyard below last month- No need to worry if these ports are not robust for offshore... I picked it up undamaged and installed it!

Enjoy the season and have a safe MEMORIAL DAY!
