All, I am getting the boat out of the yard Thursday with a fresh bottom (after 5 years in the water year round it was time - though got to love Trinidad SR at least in this area). Also dealt with assorted blisters dings and gouges; torqued out a slight smirk; got the Martec rebuilt; replaced the cutlass bearing; replaced the dripping dripless stuffing box; dressed the shaft; lubed the thru hulls; addressed a centerboard 'issue'; and otherwise got it ready to float for another couple years. Once back home, I am going to tackle the frameless fixed lights-another project past due. I know from past discussions to get cast acrylic and use the old ones as templates- easy enough. The bedding choices seem to be between Plexus and Sikaflex 295UV. One requires a special mixing caulk gun and the other an outrageously priced primer. Anyone have an easier third choice that has worked well? I need good enough - not perfect. I want to get going as they are playing baseball here so the weather is bound to get out of the 60/70s and be warm enough to sail soon.
