Okay, I am new to the fiberglass world and had some questions!!! Done a bit of a dig but couldn't really find what I was after....
My boat is a yalta craft 4.7m half cab.
1) I am putting a battery box under the splash well and a mount for a strap to hold the fuel tank in place what is the best procedure to drill into the floor safely and securely? Do I need to drill a larger hole, fill with epoxy then screw my self tapping screws into the epoxy? Also is there anything I need to be careful of drilling into the floor?
2) I want to clean the fiberglass as it is pretty dirty on top. Is there anything I can clean it with like jiff or similar to get rid of marks etc and give it a bit of a spruce up? I did read a thread on overhauling it but I don't want to go that far just clean it up and remove some marks.
Any help appreciated!
