Learn with me as I remove rust, fill craters, and prime and paint the 180 lb 2'x4' steel plate used as a centerboard in my Aquarius 21 trailer sailor, solo.

LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF ART...

@mynextprojectglenn 5 месяцев назад

I agree.

A friend and I bought a 1971 Venture 21 and we're going to have to pull our keel and remove the existing fiberglass and remove all of the rust, it almost looks like the plates are delaminating! Thanks for documenting your process, hope you're having fun with your boat!

This is such a useful post - I'm about to buy an Investigator 563 (small trailer sailer - I live in Australia) and the centre board is sitting separate to the hull. You have answered all of my questions. I've got this :)

Great job. It looks great. I am sure it was a good learning experience for you. I certainly learned allot!

@jimlofts5433 Год назад

the ospho probably has phosphoric acid in it - the acid combines with the rust (ferric oxide) and steel to create ferric phosphate which is inert and doesn't rust with a black appearance In Australia it is called Ranex and can also be used to clean stainless steel

I am looking at some large Irwin sale yachts, which all had swing keels and most of them have been lost in people retrofit just for the solid Keel. But lie that they ever had a swing. Keel.

I have to wonder about the ccost of a piece of plate steel cut with cnc plasma or water saw would cost compared to the consumables you used.

@myboatprojectaquaris Год назад

That is a good point. I have no idea.

@martyb3783 Год назад

I wondered the same thing. I have no idea either.

Thank you for posting just got a 14 ft with center board and not impressed with it

A $150 Sandblasting bill would have significantly decreased your time invested as well as consumable material cost, but most importantly would give you 1000X better mechanical adhesion of the epoxy sealer & fairing. The shiny surface left by the wire wheel is bad ju-ju when expecting epoxy to really grab.

@myboatprojectaquaris 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t know that about a wire wheel.

All of the blasting I looked into was more than $1,000.
