More grinding and glassing

Spent 4 hours this morning opening up limber holes and fairing in the edges of the recent glass work.

Here is the completed platform for the muffler. I made it a platform rather than a shelf so that dirt and junk could not get under it. It now a sealed off space in the boat.

Close-up showing the limber hole which just happen to come out in the wrong place. So I made a little channel to direct and leaks that come though it around the platform. The platform is made out of 3/4" PVC board so I do not have to worry about rot.

Next little job was to glass in an angle to support the walkway between the inner and outer stringers. I lowered the walkway so I can just about walk bent over in the engine room. Much better than crawling around on all 4's. I still need to clean the edge up. Oh boy more grinding...

Last job of the day was to re-enforce the glass work on the aft starboard gusset. I had already glassed it in when I started doing the main stringers. So I thought it would be better to just beef it up rather than rip the whole thing out and start over. The light spots are foam filler I put in to close up the holes that had been cut in it. I am planning to build another platform on this side to support the compressor unit for the freezer. So I do not need the limber hole at the bottom.

So I am very closet to ready to move the engine back in place. Then I need to beef up the glass work on the main stringers in the forward area of the engine room.
