Rochelle rebuild

[Longstr]

Maybe I am over thinking this and should just pop a two inch hole in it, battery box should cover anyhow

 

[Longstr]

Same process w everything, peanutbutter down. Also I drilled a drain hole for under the box,  popped a decent hole then filled w peanutbutter, will drill out w smaller bit for a better deal.

Before you get much further in this build, I'd drill a one inch diameter hole into the stringer just before the battery box so water can drain into the bilge and out the drain in your transom.

I did that, then refilled w peanutbutter and will redrill w 7/8 this evening for a good seal. U can see the hole if u look close in that paste.

Here is the drain hole result, I like this way much better than just rubbing ur finger in resin and smearing the hole

Looks good. You might want to make the hole a little larger though......just a thought.

Ok I will dremel it out a bit more
