With no access to CNC due to TechShop closure, today was the day of going back to the roots and making backing plates with hand-held tools. Took forever but turned out great!
In parallel, continued to do surface prep on topsides and started taking gelcoat off the cabin top in prep for new fiberglass layer.
Finally, drilled out and dry-fitted transom thru-halls. The exhaust hole will have to be glassed over – electric engines are zero emissions 🙂
While I was slicing and dicing, Nadya sorted through old hardware and rounded it up for a trip to Duke’s Chandlery.
