Be sure to use an appropriate hobby grade epoxy, not JB weld.

Scuff the fiberglass up before gluing, and clean with denatured alcohol. The fiberglass appears to have a shiny finish to it which means the fiberglass was not prepped correctly the first time.


If you can't hold the boat by the motor and shake it around, the glue joint is not strong enough.

I got the boat in mail today. The outside of the package was in perfect shape. When I opened up the stringers with the motor and esc had broken loose from hull. The piano wire to servo and cooling lines were the only thing still holding in motor and stringers in. I think the weight of the motor and esc bouncing from shipping brook them loose.

Been down this road before with a boat manufacturer...you should ALWAYS remove the motor and ESC and pack SEPARATELY or you are just asking for trouble!

That sucks ! I did ship it w/ insurance. try to make a claim. That really stinks. never thought to pack everything seperate. I ran that boat w/that set up and never had it come loose and hold the boat by the motor and never popped off. Well I won't be using jb weld anymore

JB Weld is okay if you prep the existing epoxy/fiberglass first.

A bonding epoxy would be best though.

even then I still think JB WELD SUCKS, for this purpose anyway. I tried it again recently after refusing to use it after previous problems, and it failed......again.

I have been using MAS FLAG epoxy for bonding good strong stuff! I was out of this when I used the JB Weld.

It is, but I have spent more on smaller amounts with 30 min epoxies and stuff like that, this is cheaper in the long run, especially since I have built/rebuilt 7 boats, and working on 3 more in the last 10 months.

I agree, if it works it will pay for its self..
