Fairing & Sanding Link

Deck: Blocking for the pop-up deck cleats was made from 3/4" marine grade plywood

Fits like a glove !

1. Blocking for the pop-up deck cleats was made from 3/4" marine grade plywood.

2. The cleat pops up when you hit the release button.

3. To restore some of the deck batten thickness we removed while fairing, we laminated a strip of 1/4" marine grade plywood to the underside of several battens.

4. The battens will be encapsulated before applying the plywood deck.
