I am going to flip my boat over to install uhmw, and need to know if I can leave my oil injection and reservoir intact or will it bleed out. I have gutted boat including gas tank and battery. 175sj

I would recommend pulling your powerhead out. its only 10 or 11, 15mm headed nuts and it will slip off. that way your boat will be lighter to flip and fuel from the carbs wont over flow into your motor and on your floor.

Are you using an adhesive or are you going to drill holes in your hull ?
I have seen adhesives for this just dont know if it's used much.
I'd like to hear if anyone has .

Form what i have read the two materials contract and expand at different rates. i don't think i would want to rely on adhesive to hold UHMW on, even though they make some unreal adhesives these days.

Changed my mind on the uhmw. I'm going to go with the slip coat instead. Better choice for my style of boating. I think Confused
