End of dowel “inked” for transfer.
Hole drilled in bulkhead.
Cowl bottom should fit tightly to bulkhead.
Use a black marker to “paint” the end of the dowel.
Use plenty of ink.
Slide the cowling into place, making sure the
bottom edge of the cowling is resting on the top
deck.
Push the cowling into the bulkhead, so that it
transfers the ink to the bulkhead.
Remove the cowl, and carefully center punch your
mark, and drill a ¼ inch hole.
Slide the cowling back on, and it should fit tightly
against the bulkhead, and flat on the deck.
If it does not, find out why and correct it.
If you really mess up, put tape over the inside of the
hole in the bulkhead, stand the boat on its end, and
fill the hole with epoxy.
After it cures, start over.
