I want to do the repairs myself for self satisfaction, i have done very little gel coat work before, HELP!!! Thanks Jerry

See where your Stencil number fits in here. https://www.whalercentral.com/viewpag...age_id=172 Are you sure it is a Montauk? https://www.whalercentral.com/userpho...lbum_id=14 If so, your console should look like this one from 1977 to 1982. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...icle_id=58 If not, let us know what other model it might be. https://www.whalercentral.com/userpho...owstart=20

I have just had a Suzuki 90hp fitted which the Suzuki dealer made a terrible mess of fitting. However i am struggling to find a colour match to repair some surface dings and chips, any ideas? Many thanks Jerry

You need to detail the boat with fiberglass heavy duty compound (never wet sand) to remove that layer and bring back the shine. You have done enough when you can see yourself in the reflection. Match to the color of the boat. International shipping is difficult for gelcoat as it is considered hazardous cargo. You will need to have a fiberglass professional mix up the color. Where in the UK are you? Might know some owners in your area. Edited by Phil T on 04/30/24 - 6:01 AM 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

This should help you get the correct color match for both interior and exterior. https://www.whalercentral.com/forum/v...ost_163095
