Realized I didn't finish posting the "working" pictures here in case anyone else wants to fix the transom on a Beaver 380...

The boat has been in the water all summer with no problems, it is a very stable little runabout. Smiles all around from the teenagers...

 

Super clean!

Super clean, and I mean really super clean!

New marine ply (or oiled plywood in this case, marine ply locally would mean a trip to see the bank manager). Oiled ply needs to be roughed up with a grinding wheel first.

New marine ply (although I couldn't find any locally for sale without the need to sell the boat to pay for it. I used oil impregnated plywood used for concrete shuttering. Make sure you have a very good mechanical grab. I used a grinding wheel to really roughen up the surface before fiberglass/epoxy.

Slightly thickened epoxy to 'glue' back into place the original piece of fiberglass I cut out. Waste not, want not!

Reuse the piece of fiberglass which you cut out, use slightly thickened epoxy as a 'glue'.

Don't forget to put polythene under the fixing washers... (or you'll have to grind them off!).

Screws and washers from outside to 'pull' the plywood tight into the epoxy. Don't forget the polythene layer under the washers, or you'll have to grind them off!

Several layers of fiberglass to 'tab' all the corners and the first coat of 'sparkle' to hide my terribly untidy fiberglass, I went for strength over beauty ;-)

Roller and 'tip', working hella fast using the Biltema paint. Jotun next time... 

New paint. Roller and fine paintbrush to 'tip'. Need to work very fast as paint dries almost instantly...

Home made riser/bracket 60mmx 6mm alu and oiled plywood

Home made engine riser/bracket so I could use my long stem Yamaha (Selva).

Long stem motor on new bracket

She floats... (forgive the slightly paranoid overnight mooring ropes...)

She floats!

Innså at jeg ikke var ferdig med å legge "fungerende" bildene her i tilfelle noen andre ønsker å fikse akterspeilet på en Bever 380...

Båten har vært i vannet hele sommeren uten problemer, det er en veldig stabil liten runabout. Smil rundt omkring fra tenåringene...
