Has Anyone Used this for the engine box on a boat and would it stick to plywood? Thank you

Haven't used it for a motor box. It will stick to plywood as long as you clean it first with denatured alcohol or something similar.

Daniel: If you have a 4x5 foot piece of plywood set it up on some saw bucks and a couple of stools and you will have a nice plat form for the tracks and also comfort while having hours of race time. Also I have one of those things with 2 fans in it for my lap top computer and after each race it works great for cooling down the motors. If you do this you will keep from over heating them. Have fun

I used it on a wooden sculpture for the backyard. However, wooden boats have used this product years ago. I would use it for the paddles. They aren't under the water all the time. Right?

I ordered this Birch ply about a year ago so my memory about it is not crystal clear. I can tell you I bought it in order to make fridge/freezer door panels for my boat. It required that I laminate Formica to the ply. The thickness had to be exact or the panel would not slide into the door frame. The project went perfectly, so at to accuracy about 1/8" I found it to be spot on, my ply was well finished with no surface imperfections or internal voids. I was very satisfied with my purchase.

It does NOT stick to flat surfaces. It is made of hard plastic. We use it on the boat and have a piece of rubber non-slide liner under it to keep it in place.

I have and it worked great. Patched a spot on aluminum boat over the rustoleum and apllied paint again to top coat it. No problems at all

I would say it depends on the stability of your shell. The airline tracks system can handle quite a load, probably easily the securing force for a canoe (even if the force is going a near-0 angle) if you don't mount it on your roof in a way the wind catches it to pull it upwards. If you use glue (polyurethane) and the supplied counterpieces, the tracks shouldn't be the problem - I would be more worried about the shell cracking if it's thin fibreglass.

I glued the aluminum base for a T-top to the fiberglass floor of my boat with it. The base is also screwed into the floor for extra support. It would all depend on how big the piece to be glued is as to whether it would hold with the adhesive alone. But, it is super strong.

No ... I think they normally just set in a boxed in areaI have not used mine for marine use. However, my boat does have a similar unit, and it is very secure in the recessed area on the boat.If my boat didn't have that set up, I'd just make a wooden box to surround the unit and attach this box to the bottom of the boat with velcro ... or just put the velcro on the bottom of the unit and the boat bottom.

humm. I do not really know, I imagine you might want something more rubbery, i think the rustoleum would rub off on the underside of a boat. I bet there are other products that are more durable and made for that purpose. There is something I cannot remember that helps paint stick to plastic and vinyl. it is a prep spay that makes paint stick better. If you use some paint like product that will help. I think if you research protecting spays you will find something better. I think there are rubber spays, that are stronger than plastidip, and that are not peal-able. You might want to research other products. humm. I do not really know, I imagine you might want something more rubbery, i think the rustoleum would rub off on the underside of a boat.

I'm not sure about plywood. We put it on your fiberglass shower floor. It is not a smooth surface and it has a gritty feel to it. It works great in the shower and isn't slippery when standing on the wet floor.

I put this on an aluminum Jon boat. I was never worried about electrocution however moist air and water all around can lead to battery corrosion. With paddle splash and all others things that can happen on a boat I would cover it. You will also want to ad a fuse so if the battery shorts it doesn't ruin your fish finder .

This paint is not for below the waterline use. It's a tough paint though and if your boat is trailered and not kept in the water for extended periods it might do okay. I'd contact the manufacturer.

absolutely! I laminate kayak paddles with this product as well as seal the finished product with a coat or two. If gluing wood where it will not be visable you can even add a little sawdust to the mixture to thicken it some and ad strength and quicker drying time.This paste is used in making kayaks and I add dust to the laminates when I make a paddle.They call it woodflour.

There are tabs with holes at the base meant to screw it down to the boat hull. Epoxy might work, you would have to be careful not to clog the water intake holes.

Yes. I used it on my jon boat. Just etch the boat with muriatic acid and prime it first

Don't think you should use this on wooden boats. I'm sure there is a Velspar product made for boats. I'm often wrong but never in doubt
