Re: RIB gun rack

An update photo of the last time I went out:

The fin holder worked perfectly. The bungee that wraps over the toe area of the pocket locks them into place and they did not move at all. Care must be taken when loading and unloading though as you could drop one.

When I installed the rack and drilled through the transom I found wet timber. As I have a hull and deck refurbishment planned I decided to replace the transom now. That way I can refinish the deck and hull after I foam fill the hull and not have to address the same points twice. I don't want to be patching it up at a later date, do it once, do it right.

It was not too bad, a few soft spots.


Timber is mostly removed with a section under the floor to go. Access is difficult down there.



I am also going to make a new well at the back for a bilge pump. I will run a conduit from the anchor well (that is currently not drained) to the new bilge well. Thinking the well should be something small like 6 inches square. Only small but it is only to drain the deck.
