Matt............the cutouts give me access inside the hull again :lol: :lol:

What are your thoughts on putting scuppers in the two back corners of the cockpit............I'm thinking 1/2" fiberglass tube I just happen to have lying around. :roll:

Do you or any of the guys have any thoughts? 8)

Paul,
follow this link within the JEM site to see how I installed my fiberglass tube scuppers: http://jemwatercraft.com/forum/viewtopi ... c&start=60

Go about half-way down the page. I hope this helps (assuming you need any help :wink: ).

Got first coat of graphite on hull 8)

I have cut ply out and filled transducer shoot thru hole with thickened epoxy

Question will transducer shoot thru graphite?? :? :?

Scott I noticed on your Blue fin build you must have masked this area before you graphite coated :shock:

Is there a reason for this :o

G'day mate.....she's looking good. There's no worries about the transducer shooting through the graphite mix. I've got a Garmin 140 and thats fine through two layers of glass, ply and three coats of graphite epoxy :D

That's amazing Flump that your fishfinder will shoot thru the ply. I was told by the manufacturer of my fishfinder (Eagle Cuda) not to shoot thru ply or graphite. Especially not ply. That's why I taped off the transducer cut-out area when applying graphite.

Two conflicting opinions.........maybe transducers work better in the southern Hemisphere?? :shock:

Flump and Scott thanks for answers.......I think I'll take cautious aproach and not graphite cut out... my sounder is pretty entry level so I dont know how powerfull it is :oops:
