Epoxy glass cowling being test fit.
Cowling assembled.
Flotation in place. Early cowling shown.
When cured, sand the rear of the cowl
deck flush with the transom.
Remove the clamps and trace the cowl
outline on the deck strips. We will use
these later as guides for the deck.
Remove the cowl assembly.
You must provide cowl flotation, as epoxy
glass does not float. It’s not a question of
if
you will lose your cowling, it’s
when
…
Use white polystyrene foam and 5 minute
epoxy to glue it into the cowling.
You must block the air from blowing
straight through the cowling, by diverting it
down, and over the exhaust before it can
exit. See page 59 for a diagram of the air
flow needed.
Do this with a piece of foam, sanded to
conform to the inside of the cowling, just
at bulkhead 3.
We will be cutting air holes in the front of
the cowling, and an air exit where the
“dashboard” would be.
