Does anyone have first-hand experience refurbishing their engine shroud that they can share? Best practices? Lessons learned?
I bought the best (err only) original engine shroud that I could find that I think is correct for our engine. Thanks for the guidance on that. It might work as is, but it could sure use some help. Faded. Cracks. Etc. I've done some searching, but the best resources I've found so far are boat repair videos. |

Using the stranded glass is very easy to apply, three or so layers, all wet one at a time. Areas that are missing, use masking tape to build up a backer to lay the glass on. Its lot of fun, do it out doors. Regarding revets, use washer on the back side so it does not crack the glass. Best, Mark
