    Repairing GRP topside - lots of small holes and imperfections!

    Depends if you're bothered about the finish or not. There's only one way to get a good looking finish and that's to do it properly. All depends on personal preference and there's no right or wrong way, just the way OP wants to go.

    Repairing GRP topside - lots of small holes and imperfections!

    I'm with JohnLilley. Sand the whole lot back, mat or tissue and resin and then fair with epoxy filler. Prime with epoxy primer and then paint. You can use car aerosols if you want a professional looking gloss finish. If you just fill individual holes it will never look really good.

    Leg lifting out in reverse

    There is a latch on the leg that hooks onto a bar on the transom shield. This locks when the drive is in reverse with a pin that comes out from the front of the leg when reverse is selected. If the hooks on the latch are worn or the pin is not coming out far enough to lock the latch into place...

    Engine wont start!

    Give the starter motor 24 volts for a few turns, it won't hurt the starter motor but will tell you whether the slow turning is your problem.

    Burgess Marine Woodsealer. Easy to apply, dries in a few minutes and two coats give an impervious seal and non slip surface. Also looks great.
