Engine Compartment insulation

[gcarter]

It's my understanding that here in Florida a brake per wheel is required. I know this is never inspected by the LEOs,
and older trailers must grandfather in. I never see brakes on construction trailers, even overloaded w/tractors,
mowers, forklifts, etc.

When I rebuilt my tandem aluminum trailer on my 22C, I included stainless Kodiak brakes since I'm never more than
75 miles from salt water.
I can tell you they work very well and I can actually hear the tires squealing just short of lockup under heavy braking.
I included a new Titan surge actuator, and a solenoid tied into the backup lights.

If I owned an AMH built boat w/plywood stringers, I would saw a 1-1/4"- 1-1/2" hole into every compartment
and seal the perimeter of the holes w/penetrating epoxy.

That just vents the same section with the engine mounts. In the earlier post you can see there is a section at the very back of the boat. My 96 doesn't have any drain holes for the back side only the same ones you mentioned.



Mine has drums as well and the original flush system. Boat came from Kentucky and trailer from Florida. I need to do all new bearings and brakes as well.

Mine are connected, must have been the previous owner's doing..

Lots of topics in this thread, all good stuff tho..

I decided to go with the factory style egg crate foam. Available locally, and i tend toward keeping things fairly original. Haven't had much Donzi time due to boat show mayhem, but just made up a great template, cut out the foam, and (assuming it glues in OK) i have exactly enough left over to do it again. So once I actually complete the install, if anyone wants the egg crate foam, let me know. I'll even shape it for you. The foam was fairly inexpensive, the template easy to make, and there would be shipping- but it will be available. No charge for the foam.
As long as I don't get ovcome by glue fumes and do a bad install on 1st piece.
Will post pics when done.

Can't you tell this thread is about trailers and "compartment" drainage?? Geez...

And mine will be as of today when I cut them out! I put off some people today to try and get my own stuff worked on….

I mean I thought I had Attention Deficit disorder but I guess we all do in this hobby. HAHA But it's all good info! I'm a bit late to the party though. Took on a big career change. And my attention to projects was put way on the back burner.
