Just bought 1987 belmont need advise

Post by Ivans » Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:51 pm

Hi Guys, just bought a 87 belmont. Love it. Need to fix the windscreen and replace canopy. Any one can recommend a fair dinkum place? Windscreen is actually ok its just the latches are sticky and bow rail is wobbly.

I also think of polishing the sun baked hull surface, some guard railing appear to be moldy. Please recommend a marine polish compoune. I found 3m fibreglass restorer. I can borrow a friend rotary buffer but maybe few tips would be nice just incase i do something stupid haha

Any other tips about belmont are greatly appreciated.

The 3m fibreglass restorer is what I was recommended followed by the red autoglym super resin polish after that.

For the sticky latches some lube will do them wd-40 or something like that.
