How to Fix a Hole in Your Boat DIY (Below the Waterline)

[@tylergolightly6725]

Shows how long you have been planning this channel, it has only been around for a few months but had content for at least 2 years backed up

Thanks!

ChrisFish is a man of focus, commitment and sheer will. He once tested a repair for 2 years before uploading the video.

A 12 minute video, 2 years in the making. That's some serious dedication. Thank you Chris.

I wasn’t expecting you to jump a whole two years later, thank you for another great video!

[@chrisfished]

[@milk-it]

I never realised the deep knowledge and skills you have with cars would translate into marine work. It's palpable you've got a logic and skillset that's transferable across multiple industries. Really impressive, Chris.

[@chrisfished]

Thanks a lot Arron!

[@daved5738]

I'm not only impressed with the repair (and of course your instructional video) but I'm also impressed you kept the footage for 2 years in order to make this for us! I have had to do some minor repairs like this myself and never knew to do the bevels... great tips!

[@chrisfished]

Thanks Dave! Glad you were able to pick up a new tip! Nothing better than learning something new!

[@davidhawkins452]

I watch your videos of things I will never ever do. Fill a whole in a boat I imagine is something that 90% of your viewers will never do, yet we watch anyway because you're the best. KZbin is a magical thing .

[@chrisfished]

I try to give you guys the best info and proof I can!

[@bobbarnes4399]

This guy gives the best and most complete and accurate descriptions of how to do a job and how to do it properly. Are used to watch his works without automobiles, but this description on dealing with below waterline holes in a boat hole is excellent. He handles factors that most of the other videos on the same subject completely skip. He uses accurate words and grammar in all cases, making it difficult to misunderstand what he’s trying to get across. I’m subscribing.

[@nexusXT60]

I love that “Ahoy there!” Keep it up man! How’s the driftstang?

Great repair job Chris! Boat = Break Out Another Thousand. LOL But the maintenance/repairs won't cost you too much because you do them yourself. Years ago I did plenty of work on a Chris Craft 292 Catalina.

[@chrisfished]

Thanks a lot man and exactly. Having a mechanic do this would easily be $1000 for this simple repair. It’s tough bc the boat isn’t in my driveway so I need to be smart with what I bring.

[@electronicsNmore]

@@chrisfished Definitely not easy when you don't have easy access to all your tools. Nothing worse than driving 20-30 minutes away and discovering you forgot or need another tool you have at home. Been there done that. LOL Keep up the great videos!

[@axialmount5571]

Very good video Chris! I'll just say it's reccomended to not use the fist few squeeze of the self mixing epoxy as if one component came out faster at fist you won't have the right ratio of epoxy

[@chrisfished]

Good call! Luckily this is a 1:1 ratio so it should mix perfectly even from the start but it’s not worth the risk. For now on I’ll def be using your tip!

[@thatgamingmechanic1689]

I like how you waited to show the proof. Shows how much you actually care. Nice work man!

Excellent content. Perfect speed and level of detail, so much harder to make something like this than it looks! I already kind of knew how to do this, but this added a couple of really useful tips. Ironically it has given me the confidence to drill a hole in my bilge while on the hard stand to allow incidental fresh water to drain out during the monsoons. I'm away from the boat for 6 months, so even a new small leak during that time could fill it up and ruin it!
