Acc to the directions on the 3M 5200 I bought-7 day cure time--tooo long.

There was another 3M w/a 40 minute cure time-will that be o.k. for a bilge pump?

Or-how thick is the bottom of a round nose hull-98-can I run a couple of screws in bilge base and not F up my hull? Puttin bilge next to coupler cover on carb side.

Three kinds of "5200"
Regular 5200 = 700 psi tensile strength
Fast cure 5200 = 600 psi
Fast cure 4200 = 300 psi

Fast cure 5200 should do the trick.
However, just yesterday I was in a hurry to get pumps in and cured. I took a bunch of long glass strands and wove them through the grates on the pump bottom plate, and glassed that to a bigger piece of biax mat to the hull. Heatlight on it, and an hour later I got two bilge pumps rock=solid to the hull.

that would be two types of 5200 and one type of 4200. same basic thing but they are different.

at lowes, in a caulk tube, PL-II construction adhesive, cheaper than 5200, thats what ive been putting my bilges down with.
I can never find fast cure 5200, and the PL-II is stronger than then 4200 in my experience.

4200 is not a acrylic urethane, it's silicone based, I thought

Air on the side of caution, search.

In my experience, it all depends on the temperature of the room. After I did these footholds, I did two bilge pumps on either side of the drive shaft. I sanded the surfaces down, but honestly a little extra temperature seems to one of the largest helps. If you have a small space heater, honestly it seems like that may be your best bet for curing the 5200.

I put a 250w MH security light inside the engine compartment when I reinforced. It heats it up very well to cure resin. During nightime my garage stays near freezing, the light keeps things within 12" of it warm enough to cure properly.

Yeah, the heater I used has a nice feature. The lowest temp setting is 32F. Basically I leave it on in the garage most of the time. If it drops below freezing, the heater comes on. Its usually pretty effing cold in GA if it goes down to freezing.

I don't think the resin adheres well to the plastic of the pump. (seems I have tried that before). That why I used glass strands in the manner described.

As long as youre sure use sandpaper on the pump and you should be ok. Rough the surfaces up on the ski and pump; I sanded and I used acetone to clean the surfaces, and after that I had no problems.

thats an aweful lot of trouble.

I grind the base on the driveway or garage floor ( perfect rough finish) wipe it with acetone, then use the same rag to wipe below the couplers, squirt some PL-II out of the caulk gun, stick it down, mush and twist to line up the output nipple, drink a beer.

then go ride.
