In this video i show you how to repair a damaged keel on a 22ft Mako center console boat. Damaged caused by trailer V beam.
Steps:
Tape off damaged area.
Grind back to solid / hard / clean fiberglass.
fill voids with thicken epoxy, cure, and grind.
Layer with 1708 and epoxy, pinned out, cure, and grind ( repeat process till you get the original shape back)
Finish off with AwlFair compound and sand flush with surface.
Thanks for watching!

you really make fiberglass look fun. Nice work.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.
A bunk making video would be great. Glad to see you came thru the storms ok!
Yes got lucky down here lol and I’ll be working on that video soon 🤙🏼
Another good one my man! Thanks!!
You bet! Thanks man 🤙🏼
I have been a marine technician for over 30 years. I have worked with a lot of fiberglass and gel coat guys. And you clearly have a good talent for this best of luck
Appreciate that man 🙏🏼
I’m a handy guy w an 1980’s Mako with almost no Glass skill but encouraged to try after watching
Great Volog! I have a Mako with slight damage from trailer in same spot, wish we could have seen Gelcoat application and hope to see how you made trailer bunkers
Really enjoyed watching
I’ll be making a trailer bunk video… since it was an epoxy repair I prepped the surface with 545 to adhere with the gelcoat
Pretty work 👍
Can this be done with laminating resin?
I went with epoxy resin knowing it’ll adhere the strongest. Being in the spot it at I wanted to make sure of a solid repair
@@dylanbefishing Thank you keep up the good work
Great job thanks for sharing.
My boat has the same damage on the keel it looks like it’s from the trailer rollers do you recommend replacing rolllers or adding bunks?
I'm a bunk guy... less likely for the boat to roll off trailer lol
Nice Work. I might have taken off the trailer cross member, since it looks like it's bolted in place
Bought a 60 year old Aristocraft several months ago (first boat) and didnt even think to look at the keel. Back 1/3-1/2 of the keel looks like yours did. Been looking for a video on how to repair similar damage. So glad i found this. Unfortunately notni have to wait until spring to actually do the work but definitely saving the video. Do you have links to the products you used? I'd really appreciate it if you do.do you have a video on how to do the gel coat ? Thank you and great video.
Not a good video for this repair at all. Don’t do the same
@@TheOjoneso do you by chance have a link to a video where this repair was done properly? I don't want to make my boat worse or risk it sinking on me.
Your content making is nice. Any plan to grow your channel?
