Topic:   How a wooden console mounts to GRP base

Novi

posted 05-10-2010 03:20 PM ET (US)         Hello, I have an Outrage 21 (1971/1972) hull # 185. I have ongoing failure with the way the teak and holly console mounts to the fiberglass base. Where can I find the original diagrams? I tend to run offshore Nova Scotia a lot in summer and heavy seas and high speeds don't always mix. I have used 3M 5200 compound to make a bedding seat between the wood and the fiberglass but after a year or so, the next weakest point fails, never the 5200, never the GRP, usually the wood. I suspect I need a mechanical join (thru-bolts) and a compound join too. Any suggestions or help appreciated. Thanks, Sean
