Aft cowl former. Note waxed paper and clamps.
Cowl deck clamped in place.
Note front clamps.
If all is well, put epoxy on the front and
rear deck formers and set the cowl deck
in place.
Be sure that the deck is flush with
bulkhead 1 and centered on the deck
strips. There will be some overhang at
the rear.
Clamp the cowl deck completely along
both sides and against the deck formers.
Spray the lite ply cowl deck with water to
help in conform to the compound curve of
the deck.
Double check that everything is in
contact and allow to dry for several hours
or overnight.
You can spray the lite ply deck again
after a few hours if you want. It will help
the cowl deck to conform to the
compound curve of the hull.
While the deck is drying, grab the epoxy
glass cowling. Wash the cowling in soap
and water to remove the mold release
agent.
Test fit the epoxy glass cowling to the
boat.
The cowl should sit on the bulkheads and
fit inside of the lite ply deck. You will
have to sand the deck opening slightly.
Try to fit the cowl so that it just touches
the lite ply deck, without putting pressure
on it. If there is any pressure on it, the
deck will distort.
Once you are happy with the fit, use
medium CA or epoxy to attach the epoxy
glass cowling to the lite ply deck.
Make sure that the cowl is sitting on top
of the bulkheads.
