Sealed up the old transom plug with TotalBoat THIXO thickened epoxy on a cardboard backer plate. We find that as well as being drain holes they also make good leak holes.
Cut new cypress backer blocks for the bow handle and halyard cleat and fixed them in place with THIXO. Clamped the bow handle block and screwed in the cleat block.
To pour the 2 part expanding foam on top of the flotation blocks we use blue tape to make a trough, that keeps it mostly on top of the block while it expands and adheres.
We used TotalBoat 2 part foam and we also use FibreGlast 2 part 2 pound foam. Then we have to clamp fast so the deck seam does not get pushed open.
We poured the bow foam also and clamped the hood shut.
