is Noli OK with that??
😆
Actually, no. If you look at the photo, it's only partially done. She came out to the garage with a stop-work order.

New vent and fill lines as well as fittings. The new fuel fill needed a smaller hole than the old one. Added a 1/4 " thick fiberglass backer that was drilled to the new smaller size. The vent I installed was a flush fit to stay out of the possible spray. It wouldn't fit where the original was due to interference with the fill hose. Needed a spacer and back up washer to install it. I made both out of the lightweight plastic board.

I went back and looked at the way you secured the tank, I wish the people that did mine had the technical expertise that you have, I didn't realise how bad of a job they did till it was too late, I had to make a new gas tank lid because the old one was shot, after opening it up and seeing what they did, I smacked myself for trusting them, If I can find pics I will post them, they, Oh crap, I don't even want to go there.
Looks like you won't have to worry about it for a long time, you still have access to change hose's if you have to, me I gotta remove the lid to do it.
I love the room that type of boat has, cab forward and plenty of room aft.
I look forward to seeing your progress, looking really good so far.

I wrongly assumed that the new Seastar Hydraulic steering helm would match up with the old teleflex helm that I removed. The existing hole is 3 1/4" , new helm needs 3". Nothing is ever easy.
Not sure what to do now. Fill and glass or just put a 3/4" ply backer plate. Probably going to grind, fill, glass and fair.......

Sanded the bilge compartment and recoated with epoxy resin. Wiped down the area with warm water to remove whatever blush there might have been. I scuffed up the surfaces with 150 grit and put on a coat of epoxy primer coat.

Well i must say you are doing a great job ,both of taking pics. and your rebuild. !!.
Bilge looks good But a little weird to me not seeing a shaft, stuffing box (or tube and dripless) Shaft wiper, rudder stock, steering pistons,high water alarm or lazerette pump, prop clean out and all but the kitchen sink stuck in there. 😊

Filled and glassed the old steering helm hole "properly" . I also filled in a small section of the cutout for the console. There was as an area where the glass looked like it never bonded to the ply. I grinded that back a bit further. Then added two layers of 1708.
