Keeping water out of your roll gunnel boat. Now with picture
In rough water if you have a roll gunnel you always wind up with a lot of water in the back of the boat after a long run. Looking back to check on the pisser I noticed why. When hitting waves the water would run under the gunnel around the back and blast into the side of the moter. Half would splash out but the other half would come right into the boat. So I came up with a solution. First take a piece of cardboard and make a template of each side under the gunnel right before you get to the moter cutout. The trace that on a small piece of 1/2" starboard. Over cut a little and sand down for a tight fit. Then put on some 5200 and clamp it till set, and viola no water in boat. Space it in an inch or so and a 1/4" up in there and you can't see it. A tip I learned on smoothing 5200. Pour some rubbing alcohol into a dish and repetedly wet your finger tip with it while while wiping off eccess on a rag inbetween smoothing. It works
