General Discussion / Re: Project Carla: 74' CV-16SS Restoration
« Last post by awc105 on Today at 10:32:00 AM »I know it's been a lot of sanding/fairing/priming lately... Not to worry though, I'm sure the thread will be more interesting once I get that topcoat finished and start reassembly. In fact while I wait for the finish primer and some other supplies to arrive, I figured I'd tackle some other tasks that have been on the list. The first one was flotation foam in the stern. I measured and calculated that I would need about 1.5 cuft of foam on each side, enough to fill the cavity up to the edge where the pass-through holes are that the vent tubing, steering cable, etc... go. Based on the foam kit I purchased, the expansion is roughly 27.5X liquid volume, doing some more math and conversion, that gave me 1500mL of foam mixed per side. In order to pour the foam into the cavities I made some funnels out of some 2 liter bottles I had, and then made sure the area around the vent holes was masked off. I poured half the mix in the front funnel, and the other half in the rear funnel, after about 5 minutes the foam rose like a loaf of bread to pretty much the exact height I was hoping for. I then repeated the task on the other side, a few minutes later the rain started...
The second task on the list was to install the bilge drain, the first reassembly item! Anyways, I opted for a cast brass garboard style drain instead of the original crimped style. I like the idea of using a threaded plug instead of one of those flip-type rubber plugs. I also did some mods to it to prevent me from losing the plug as I lose one at least once a season on our other boats...
For the sealant I typically use 3M 4200, but I was at our local west marine and saw they have 3M 4000UV which is apparently almost identical to 4200 but more sun friendly, so I picked up a small tube of it.
After I installed the drain flange with sealer and screwed it in, I threaded in the plug and then drilled and tapped a hole in the center of it, I purchased some bead chain (#10 size) and the necessary screw mount pieces. I installed the chain just long enough to allow me to remove the plug, but short enough that it wont sit below the hull when installed. I tapped the hole enough to sufficiently thread the screw in, but not enough to fully seat against the chain so that it will allow the plug to rotate with twisting the chain. Very happy with how it all turned out.
And finally I reinstalled the bow hook. Up until now the boat has just been sitting on the trailer, this often made me nervous because sometimes I pull it around the yard to different spots, and I worry about it slipping off. Got it tightened up and sealed, not very fun climbing way up in the bow...
All for now.
