Field repair kit
« on: December 06, 2009, 05:08:26 PM »
I am new to this type of boating.  I have a G3 1860 CCJ.  I was wondering if anyone has assembled a hull repair kit.  Or, how useful one might be.  I was thinking of putting together....
1) a simple push drill with 1/8" bit
2) a few pieces of sheet metal flashing and small set of shears
3) self taping sheet metal screws

I have floors in my boat so access from the bottom is my only option.

Obviously, avoiding any breaches of the hull makes the most sense.  But, If it were to happen.......

Thoughts from the experts??

Duct Tape, a Rock and a Bilge Pump to get me off the H2o.

all I know is I keep jb weld on my little jon boat
The more I fish the more I realize it isn t about the fishing.  The older I get the more I realize it is about the moments God has hand crafted just for me.

Thats some good stuff...just plan on some work when you take it off to do a permanant repair.  Waterweld would probably stick to teflon!!
