Wet Sounds 3-Some on a 22i

[chpthril]

Mike, what did you use to bond the pedestals to the bare fiberglass? JB Weld? I am looking to do something similar to my 22i, but I was worried that those pedestals would eventually give with all of the thrashing of the boat.

PL brand Polyurethane contractor adhesive. The hard part is getting some force applied to it till it sets up.

Why not use epoxy? Would the chemical bond not be stronger with epoxy?

Nice job! Almost as good as job as mine

Amps are on the outside wall of the port storage and distro-blocks are on the back side of the access door wall, just to the left of the door opening. The amps are mounted to pedestals that are epoxy-coated carpet covered and bonded to the the bare fiberglass.

Am I assuming that you cut the carpet beneath the pedestals to apply the epoxy. Will that not allow moisture beneath the carpet?

Great looking install!!!

If water is up that high, it's time to abandon ship


J/K, not but a few inches above the amps is the top of the carpet anyway. If they is streaming water spraying/splashing on that area, the carpet will be the least of the worries. Even so, the carpet doesn't actually "seal" floor and walls from water.
