Steel plates installation
STAGE 1
Steel plates were installed to reinforce the stern of this boat and the first bonding with glue was applied to secure the steel plates in place.
Shaping the Stern's Surface
STAGE 2
The stern's surface was then sanded down and shaped into a curve.
Application of Fiberglass
STAGE 3
Fiberglass was stuck with glue to the stern's surface both externally and internally to reinforce the strength of the stern.
Hydraulic Base Installation
STAGE 5
The transom section was marked and holes were drilled into the stern for the hydraulic hoses to pass through, so the H+B Technics base could be secured and bolted with the transom section. The hoses were re-routed and connected to the hydraulic pump.
Fabrication of Hydraulic tray
STAGE 7
A new tray for the Hydraulic Pump was fabricated and installed on the engine room floor.
