Jon replaces a rotten forward bulkhead on his boat, Antidote, by fabricating a new structure from four sections of 1/2-inch marine plywood.0:39 To ensure a watertight seal, he rounds the bulkhead edges with a router and applies a thickened epoxy fillet before laminating the assembly with 4-ounce fiberglass cloth.1:11 He installs a 1 1/4-inch straight-threaded through-hull fitting to drain the anchor locker, planning to route the discharge to a dedicated shower sump rather than the bilge to prevent odors and standing water.2:44 To create a sloped floor, he constructs a foam wedge shaped to the hull, which he then reinforces with multiple layers of 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth using a vacuum bag.8:48 He uses a laser level to align cross-members and secures them with through-bolts, sealing the holes with epoxy plugs to prevent water intrusion.10:47 The project aims to create a robust, watertight forward compartment, with future plans to upgrade the assembly into a crash bulkhead.27:30
