 Skeg Repairs

 
 Home Up

 

 

 

When we lifted the boat out of the water to antifoul it during Easter, we discovered some bubbles on the hull and skeg. I ground out the ones on the hull in preparation to fill them, then I got to the ones on the skeg. I ground them back and ground them back and then found a void.  I drilled multiple holes in the skeg and also drilled into the rudder as well to check for moisture.  I then made a tent of plastic which we sealed a dehumidifier and heater in to dry it out.  Once we were convinced it was all dry, I syringed epoxy into the void and epoxied probably thirty coats of chopped strand mat to seal and level it all up.
