You might not need to replace the housing, but you won't know until you open it up.

Re: RB16 new build KY 1st timer
That part of the schedule says to lay 6" tape 2" on one side of the gap, 4" on the other. Then follow with another strip overlapping the keel the opposite way. Both sides everywhere mentioned, including the whole perimeter of the transom. Well, not the top edge. That sentence says no...

Re: New boat from elsewhere
Most of the designs here don't require a ton of strength from the zip ties, but there are one or two that require substantial force to pull the bow panels together and some builders find that using copper wire in a few spots is helpful. Not part of the original question, but backing up the zip tie w...
