I am not putting a ****pit cover back on my Minx... I'm ready to fill the holes where the snaps used to be. I'm also ready to do some repair to the nose of the boat where it's been dinged by the trailer. And, there are a bunch more places where I'll needs some filler... I'm putting a new pitot tube in, dumping an externally mounted transducer, filling some random screw holes here and there for accessories that I've pulled and won't be replaced
What is the best filler for these tasks? For the snaps and random holes I want something hard, but not so rock hard I can't sand it easily. For the bow I'm thinking rock hard...
I'm looking at a couple of different fillers. For the bow I'm leaning towards West System 404: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=2034
For the snaps etc. I'm not sure... I found Interlux InterProtect Watertite Epoxy Filler: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=4148&familyName=Interlux+InterProtect+Watertite+Epoxy+F iller
I like the 2 stage cure process so I can sand it easily. I also like that it's water tight so I can use it below the water line on the transducer and pitot mounts. Anyone use anything better, or have experience with these?
