Re: 53 MY Repower, started!
Nice job Pascal!
What did you use to paint your engine room and how did you prep it??

Re: 53 MY Repower, started!
We made a few foam "floorboards" for our 50c's ER. Just painted with Awlgrip, no nonskid or anything else. They really aren't slippery and the best part is they're very easy to clean, just a thought.

Yes, I have a piece of diamondplate in the center bilge of my boat.... and a piece of old carpet on it, because you can't kneel on it.

Re: 53 MY Repower, started!
I keep boat cushions everywhere. One is in the engine room, one is in the pump room, one under the bridge. At home, one is in the shop, one upstairs, one downstairs. I even have one in the golf cart when I have to fix yard sprinkler heads. I must be getting old.
Good luck,
Tim

We all must be the same age 66. I’m having a hell of a time dropping down and getting up. Damn.
