What this video covers
A boat owner fabricates and installs a custom shower pan using plywood, epoxy resin, and marine paint.0:12 The process involves creating a slope for drainage by gluing wooden strips to the base, followed by applying a thick layer of epoxy resin.0:09 After curing, the surface is sanded with belt and orbital sanders to achieve the desired angle and smoothness.9:19 Instead of applying a fiberglass taffeta layer, the builder relies on the structural integrity of the plywood and the thickness of the epoxy for waterproofing.9:20 The finish includes a primer, two coats of Toplac paint, and a non-slip coating in the center.20:19 The installation uses a siphon drain and self-adhesive foam window seals for perimeter waterproofing rather than silicone.27:39 Additionally, the project includes installing a 180-ohm fuel tank level sensor and a stainless steel 316L adapter for a standard cutlass bearing.3:26 The builder notes that the shower pan took approximately eight days to complete, though he anticipates using it infrequently compared to port facilities or outdoor showering.25:10
