Fitting a sarca bowsprit to a carribean reef runner
Submitted by Dirt on Mon, 2015-08-17 18:31
hey guys has anyone on here fitted a sarca bow sprit ( to a carribean reef runner. My concern is the existing gap in my bow where the sprit will be fitted is going to be to wide and I may have to attach a plate first before I mount the sprit. Any assistance would be appreciated

Just had one fitted to Seaquest
And I know that is ally rather than glass but even then strengthener plates were installed AND a thick vinyl plate was installed beneath the bowsprit to minimise any impact damage from the swinging anchor as it enters the bow sprit

I fitted a lonstar Bowsprit
A while ago and the recess in the front wasn't wide enough so I scuffed up the gelcoat in and around the recessed area then mixed up some epoxy and filled it in and painted it. Then I mounted the bowsprit to the flat surface. Works fine
