Hey guys,
I am considering cutting a hole in my (canadian) canoe and installing an andersen bailer. (not for actual bailing, but to create a hole in the bottom of my boat. I live near a reservoir that requires a 30 day quarantine, then the boat must be locked to a trailer with the special reservoir lock to ensure its quarantine is not broken).
I have no interest in using a trailer so ive been contemplating ways to disable my boat. I got this idea from a cable lock for a revolver. Similarly to the revolver, I figure I could run a cable through the bailer, around the side of the boat, and effectively disable the boat from being used elsewhere.
My canoe is a Wenonah Kevlar UL layup, which is all kevlar with a foam (or nomex?) core.
My question is, how hard is it to install an Andersen bailer? I am proficient with composite repair so im fairly confident I could handle it fine
2nd, whats the best tool to cut through the Kevlar and core? I'm thinking an angle grinder or extremely fine tooth reciprocating saw?
Thanks!
