[Rhodes22-list] Fiber Glass Repair

[Goodness]

Fiberglass repair resin with glass filler already added (available at home depot) (it has a picture of a boat on it) mix some and practice on a piece of wood with a chunk knocked out of it. Use a plastic bondo spreader to apply after mixing in hardner in a small pladic cup.  Sand ( buy 80 100 150 and 200  , maybe a 400 grit sheets) start with the 80 and use each grit. Sand smooth, may have to apply fiberglass a few times.
may have to get regular fibergladd resin to fill cracks. Sand, sand, sand.  Paint over repair with one of the following: white solvent based enamel, one part rexthane, two part epoxy paint, or two part enamel.
Even A bad job wont look too bad.  A good job will not even be noticed.

I'm pretty sure it was done at a marina when I had the outboard serviced, but I didn't see it until a coupla days after I got Aeolia back to my dock. They probably took the outboard off the lift & set it down too heavily.
