RE: [omc-boats] painting the rogue

Correct me on my terminology, if I am incorrect; but, aren't the cleats on
the four corners. They are made of plastic. These boats were lifted by the
metal "eyes" (don't know the correct term) at the center of the bow and
stern. Right?

While working at OMC in engineering we often did hull modifications. We used
epoxy to form spoilers etc. and then wet sanded the area and spray painted
with gel coat - I would suggest doing the same. wet sand the whole hull,
patch holes etc. with any good epoxy and sand smooth, then spray paint with
gel coat - also, you should be able to lift the boat by it's cleats - that's
how we hauled them out of the water at Johnson Motors - then we would lift
the boat about 7 feet in the air and pressure wash the bottoms - standing
under them! I admit, I was always nervous doing that, but I'm still here
today. So, find a garage with strong joists and three come-alongs (two on
the stern and one on the bow) and have at it. Dave

Subject: [omc-boats] painting the rogue

I would like to get a new coat of paint on the old rogue this summer. I'm
not really sure what I should be looking for when I go to buy paint. I read
an article in a boating mag. about a self leveling paint that can be rolled
and brushed on. I cant find the article so I thought maybe one of you would
know of it.I'm not sure what to use for topside and the stripes, I figure
the hull is a no brain er "hull paint". I have no idea how I'm going to get
at the bottom, I dont know if I can jack it up off the trailer and block it.
It looks pretty scary. Maybe if I did ever thing I could get at and then
blocked it so I could remove 1 roller set at a time, but that would take
forever letting it cure before replacing the roller. Another ??? I have is
what to use to fill small holes. Bondo / resin. There is 2 or 3 sets of
snaps that I would like to get rid of. It has a set of those tower snaps
that really bug me. Always getting pocked. Anyways I figure I would remove
the snap, then taper the holes and fill them with bondo or something else.
Then prime it. The next few weeks ill be working part time so there will be
more time than money, so it should be a perfect time to prep it for paint. I
just got done putting in a 327 replacing the newer 305 that the starter
would only bolt up with 1 bolt and had a crack in the block. I ran the
battery dead turning it over to lube and pump up the lifters, so it has not
run yet. That's the goal this weekend.Anyway,Happy boatingDaemian
