How to Screw into Bulkheads with Fewer Holes and Watertight! | Ep 149

In this episode, we're tackling an essential project: securing bulkheads with fewer holes and ensuring a watertight seal. Follow along as we take you through each step to achieve a professional finish on our 43 ft Sceptre sailboat.
*Steps Highlighted:*
1. **Mark Details on the Piece**: Precision is key! We'll show you how to accurately mark where each fastener will go, ensuring proper alignment and minimal impact on the integrity of your bulkhead.
2. **Pre-drill and Counter Sink Holes**: Avoid splitting and ensure a snug fit by pre-drilling and countersinking holes.
3. **Epoxy Any Wood Pieces**: Protect your wood from moisture damage. We'll demonstrate how to apply epoxy to strengthen and waterproof any wooden components involved in the installation.
4. **Screw in Fasteners Ahead**: Drive screws into your pre-drilled holes, ensuring they can rest in the predrilled hole in the bulkhead.
5. **Use Butyl Tape to Create a Sealing Gasket**: For a watertight seal, we'll show you how to properly apply butyl tape, creating a durable and effective gasket.
