WoW, Once again Roadrunner. That stuff certainly hangs on hangs on. How quick does it set? and Whats the best way to apply it? it looked an absolute mess and knight mare to apply to the first support shown. |

My day job is a plastics engineer and mold maker, and I am very familier with rotomolding and insert/overmolding (a leading expert in the field of plastics and insert/overmolding). The solution below uses injection molded sleeve inserts (should be under $1.00 each in production volumes for the sleeves). The solution below can be used on your existing molds with no modification to the molds themselves, and should never leak. ,..Hope this helps Bob Really nice, Bob. Would this nylon insert be made in the exact same inside diameter as the existing holes? How much stronger is it than the current PE tube? Would it ever separate due to heat, stress and flexation of the hull? |

RoadRunner. Awesome Brah! Please tell us more about the drive well plugs. A perfect sailing accessory for the TI and AI! |

Roadrunner, What Nohuhu said! Though not just for sailing. Should make a difference when paddling as well. Looks brilliant. (another one of your mods Hobie should take note of ) I'm guessing the drivewell surge is eliminated? Noticed a speed increase at all? |

Thanks for that Roadrunner. Great stuff! Deserves its own subject in the ideas/mods forum rather than buried in this post. |
