Motor Well.

I have been working on the motor well while it is still easily accessible.  Soon it will be surrounded by other parts of the boat making it more difficult to work on.


The sides of the motor well plug have been fitted into the motor well.  Shims separate the plug sides from the well so that the plug will not fit too tightly in the well.


Plastic has been inserted into the saw cuts in the hull to isolate the epoxy gluing of the hull cutout to the sides making up the well plug.  After the glue cures, the remaining portions of the hull cutout were cut leaving this hole in the bottom of the boat.  


The hull piece that was cut out now forms the bottom of the motor well plug.


The plug will be filled with pour foam and will be capped by the motor well hatch in the cockpit sole.
