hey there - I grinded out the inside - (maybe went too far?) I am going to start to epoxy the top hole (leave the bottom one alone) and I don't know, it just seems there isn't much hull left, am I just paranoid? I am going to do the his glass method and just paranoid by taking away what appears...

haha.. okay .. got it! Long day! :cool:

I'd try what Seasick and Dennis suggest before needing and looking for PB Blaster - but I would think on a boat you wouldn't need to loosen rust? I am thinking more salt corrosion is the problem here and a little bit of pressure will help you.. sounds like you need to get a little bit of...

When I epoxy the holes - what do I place on the outside of the hull to keep the epoxy from seeping out the other side of things, to hold the epoxy in place?

Ahhhh! Light bulb just went on - completely making sense now, almost like "anchoring" the plug - thank you for explaining that!

I am going to make a thirds on this - PB Blaster has never let me down!

You guys are the best! OK - I emailed Grady to check on the bow eye, see if they can give me a part number at the very least. Let me take 1 step at a time here and I'll ask questions as I go so everything is not all at once. - First step, grinding down the lip of the old glass inside, making...

Dennis - perfect! Thank you!! Yeah I thought I might have to smooth out the lip bit more, so the plywood lays nicely flat, at least that was my thinking anyways. I have to admit, I start to get a little scared by grinding further than what I have already for fear I am going to go too far and...

Thanks, Dennis - I had to step away from this project for a few but now back on this - So, I got all th glass out of the way and all the old wood - wasn't much wood left at all - pretty much just wood dust and pieces so I can't tell how it was played behind the glass. I think that's my next...

Nice!! Congratulations!!

Hey! Foam as in Divinycell - sorry for not clarifying. I think I am getting it, between skunk boat's reply and yours.. I am going to have to get in there and start grinding out.

As always, thank you, Dennis with the helpful responses! So I have this straight, grind back the inside glass - how much? Not sure how far around or inside the wood goes? Once glass is grinded out, begin to grind out the old wood. Replace with (Can I use foam? I still have some left over when...

The bow eye that I attached the winch strap to. The picture posted above his inside the anchor box on the inside of the bow/hull where I would tighten down the bow eye/u-bolt.

Hey there! I was replacing my bow eye and in doing so, I realized a potentially bigger problem? I have a 1989 Grady White Tournament and it appears that there is wood rot between the fiberglass in the anchor box where the bow eye bolts is... How much of a problem is this, to have the wood in...

Thanks for the tip! This is going to be 1 of the first things I look to do/use come spring.

Here is my concern -

Thanks of for the helpful tips guys! Seasick, yeah I'd rather have someone who knows what they are looking (hearing) for than doing it myself - I tried doing the hammer test myself and well, I can't be sure, even after watching You-Tube videos of how to check. Not my area of expertise and...

Hey guy.. I am feeling a little uneasy about the state of my transom - I can jump on the cavity plate and nothing moves, pretty solid but who would I be able to take my boat to for someone who would have knowledge in this area and would be able to tell me whether or not I should worry? 3 years...

Thanks, Journeyman!!! Tony D.

Tony those two shots are the same rods from different angles, both dipsy diver set-ups. The fore is my high braided line diver, a tekota 600LC on a 9'6" talora, the aft is my low wire line diver a daiwa 47LC on a 8' talora roller guide Oh sweet - thank you, Denko!
