Following photos show the method of making a slide holder for the board with epoxy.
The white rectangle mold is made with polyethylene sheet material.
The bilge hull sides are prepped. The mold's two ridge shapes filled with epoxy mishmash and glued to the sides. Not much pressure is needed to hold the molds while curing. I used balled up plastic film, jammed down in!
Because of the truncated mold shape the mold pops right off after the epoxy is hard.
Turns out there is just enough space to set the board in its place
It is held quite firmly when housed.
Now we have to hook up the various wires and run the hose.
Both pumps use same 1 1/8" Vinyl hose. Small pump hose will exit into cockpit.
Large pump hose will exit high up on the hull, with syphon break loop. Not sure just where,
but the hose for efficiency has to be as short as possible.
