Hi All:
As part of the leak plugging we are doing our Manatee, we need to re-seal the stanchions. I have am hoping someone knows the construction well enough to assist:
1. Are there backing plates? if there are how do I access them?
2. How thick is the top deck gel coat? I will need to drill through the top layer and clean out the wet core, then fill with 610. I don't want to drill through...
3. I plan to use Butyl tape to seal. Any hints or tricks?
The boat is out of the water and want to get the epoxy work done before it gets too cold here in Chicago.
Thanks
