Greetings to all.
While bottom sanding, took a closer look at every part of the hull. Noted that my raw water intake has several layers of bottom paint on it. The diameter of the intake opening is about 1/4 inches on a 1/2 inch Marlon mushroom through hull. What are some practices for reaming out the reduced intake hole inside the mushroom shaped through hull?
And if you will allow a bonus question. I am using Aquaguard bottom paint consistent with prior owner. I noted some bottom paint on the depth sounding transducer and I put a layer on as well. Now I am wondering if I should sand all the bottom paint off and just use transducer paint? Research says some 200 grit would do it, then repaint with transducer bottom paint? Thoughts?
I will be testing the transducer "as is" tomorrow, though while I am on the hard would like to have it right before getting wet later next week.
Thankful. Stay well.
