Seaport 2400 XL POD Conversion Project

I believe you over drill and fill with epoxy so that it soaks deeper into the wood fibre. Then drill the smaller hole into the epoxy. That was never done on all the transom holes on my 1996 Seasport and it was not an issue.

Below the waterline holes would be the ones to do it to however I just used 5200, but my boat is ugly!

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

Trim tabs are installed but I haven't yet applied the 5200 to seal the holes. Just a dry fit up for now. I am still on the fence about the going the 5200 path or filling/drilling epoxy + 5200.

You could just slightly overdrill it and run a coat around the sidwalls of the hole if you're worried about it. The other way seems a little try-hard.

You know which way will make you sleep better at night. Spend the extra time and over drill them and epoxy then 5200

Anybody have a recommendation for a source of marine wiring in the lower mainland?

 

[fishin solo]

I use Ancor marine grade wire. Amazon

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

So you order it all from amazon.....was hoping for a local by the foot supplier....

 

[CBsqrd]

Martin Marine in North Van or Poco Marine are both great

 

[fishin solo]

Pretty sure the only place around here in Langley would be steveston marine but to be honest the price your gonna pay there for by the foot it will prob be cheaper just to get a spool from amazon and have leftover for future projects etc.

3 branch supply in north van he can do all the crimps etc for you as well if you have lengths.

If you haven't check out https://www.pysystems.ca . There is lots of good info and videos on their site. Could re wire your whole boat if you wanted them to. Or if your doing it yourself I'm sure they could point you in the right direction for supplies.

Motors are on!

Deck is Done too,

I'm not a "Merc" guy ,but those look very nice.Is the "Seapro" the heavier duty bottom end? Other mods from stock merc's?I don't see any numbers,are they 150's?

 

[Buckethead905]

Sick boat!

 

[fishin solo]

are you happy with all the glasswork that mountain did ? Btw it looks fn fantastic

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

Marty at Mountain did a fantastic job, really went out of his way to make sure it turned out great!

The Sea pro is a heavier duty gear box and I think they are tuned to produce max Torque at a Lower RPM

 

[Gear'n'beer!]

Man that boat looks nice.......good work

 

[Reel Gone]

That looks awesome Marty, sure opens up a beautiful dance floor.When is the first sea trail taking place?
