Hello all, just returned from a lovely extended weekend in the Apostle Islands (and added another boat to the fleet) and now have the following question. I have a Henderson footpump that I'd like to install in a Current Designs GTS. The bulkhead in the CD boats is plastic and I am not sure if it is strong enough for the pump. If it is someone let me know. Otherwise I am going to have to reinforce it somehow. Any ideas or tips? Adding a layer of glass, a piece of wood or something? One other question. Any tips (psychological help welcomed as well) for drilling the large hole in the deck. Best bit for this, speed, should I tape to keep fracturing down? Thanks! -Patrick PS My newly added fiberglass keel-strip is holding up wonderfully. Lots of dragging on the beach without a problem. It looks like my worries about adhesion to the gel coat are thus far moot. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Aug 14 2000 - 10:28:36 PDT
