Plywood Stiffener

Mark All Messages By This Member #523 Has anyone replaced the plywood stiffener on the lazarette hatches. I have a couple pieces of teak that I could epoxy in their place but hate to remove the hatches to do it. The plywood is about gone and falling apart.
BJS All Messages By This Member #524 I have the same issue on my boat Mark. ?I was wondering of some sort of plastic wood replacement would be a better option vs. teak or marine plywood. Starboard and All-A-Board are trade names for some if I recall.
Mark All Messages By This Member #525 开云体育 Hi Brian,? I got aggressive yesterday and replaced it with teak.? It was a PIA to get the old plywood off but it came out nice.? I figure that if the plywood lasted 25 years the teak is good for a lifetime, mine at least.? I'll try to attach a picture but not sure the list will accept it.? Going back out tonight to put them back on. Mark On 6/3/2013 10:58 AM, Brian Smokler wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text ?

Steve Orth All Messages By This Member #526 Mark, Thanks for the picture. How did you get your doors off? Did you drill out all of those hinge fasteners? Also curious what you used to attach the teak to the fiberglass. This project has been on the list for a while...I've really gotten tired of getting a slimy handful of rotten plywood every time I open the lazarette.

I did pick up a six inch long bit for my cordless drill.? I used West System Epoxy with milled fibers to bond the teak to the hatch.? Getting the old plywood off was the hard part.? I used a chisel and mallet then a 80 grit flap disk on my angle grinder to get it down to the fiberglass.? Be careful it is really thin on the front face.? I put the epoxy on heavy and let it squeeze out with the clamps, messy but effective.? The teak pieces were 40 inches long by 4 inches wide and 1/2 thick. ?

Steve Orth All Messages By This Member #528 Mark, Thanks for the great detail. With any luck they didn't "improve" the design from screws to rivets before my date of manufacture! Gotta check it out now.
