As seen in the previous photos, stripped off two layers of ablative paint with primer in between them from the transom. I didn’t want to deal with this now but I figured with all the hardware off it was the right time to do it, Ordered interlux inter protect 2000E and VC performance epoxy. I will just paint the transom for now. The last picture shows the second layer of tabbing which also included covering the whole inside of the transom with biax. All that’s left is to patch the outer stringers and pour a little bit of foam.

Earlier this week I filled all the gaps with Epoxy/cabosil and tabbed in bottom and sides.

And when it was raining on Tuesday I took that opportunity to finish cleaning up and paint all the components for the gimbal assembly.
Functionally everything was OK but it just looked like hell, between the corrosion and deposits and a zebra mussels stuck to it.

Great progress Joe & Laurie, I haven't worked on the Timi in months. I question if either of you ever sleep?

I got the outer stringers patched in, I think that’s the end of the glass work

Drilled all the necessary holes in the transom last night, used the fixture for the holes to mount the drive. because I had to install the transom in sections I decided to cut the keyhole ahead of time so I could use it for clamping, I didn’t consider the clearance for the steering arm

. The fixture has angle drill guides so you can just use a holesaw, if I had planned ahead of time I could’ve just not cut that part out. Fortunately I had a fixture in stock, The keyhole cut from the CV 16 V8.

Pretty nifty idea to gain the steering arm clearance. I've always cut the clearance inside with a carbide burr, but that method would save time.

I checked it at about 10 last night, I could’ve put another coat on but there was too many bugs.
Shot the second coat this morning.

Crazy how all the bugs show up when you load up the paint gun, maybe that's what I need inside the bug zapper as an attractent? Boat looks great, be on the water soon hopefully.
