    Default Gluing Pool Noodles ?

    What adhesive can I use to glue a piece of pool noodle to my Cheetah hatch? I'm just not real sure what will stick to this foam & fiberglass.

    Thanks

    Try a hot glue gun, it should stick.

    I ended up using 5 minute epoxy and it worked great.

    Chilli, Cheetah is done except for a splitter I need to run 2 packs. I just need about 6 inches of 10 gage to finish & run.

    Something else works and that is small bubble plastic and CA and takes up less room where room is sparse. Also you can attach a piece of chalk line to cover and to boat away from motor area so it doesn't get wrapped up in cable. Both items work for me.

    Looks Good Chip. I tried epoxy and it didnt hold as well as I thought it did. But in your application, you'll be fine. If you put a little floation on your hatch, I wouldnt trust the epoxy though.

    Glad you went with good quality packs. Take good care of them and they will last for years. If you want to go for a quick test ride, you'll be okay running 1P for a minute or two. You want to do that any way to make sure your set up isnt running hot. Just run the second pack the same length of time as the first till you get a Y connector soldered in place.

    Dropped by the pond today to see if the grass seed I put down took. It was all gone. LOL Heavy rains a few days after I put it down probably washed it away and the birds ate the rest. There were tons of geese but a flock of gulls occupied the launch area. There was very little goose poop in the launch area. My guess is they dont like walking on gravel but they loved that old carpet we put down. LOL Anyway launch area looks good. Should be allot safer.

    Marine GOOP works great for me. I just pulled out a piece of foam I glued into a hatch five years ago - it was hard to pull it out, still stuck very tight. Plus when you remove the foam you can remove the remaining GOOP relatively easily - unlike epoxy.
