It's time to put our rigging tube in. Here's our rigging tube. We're going to use a 2 inch piece of PVC
0:04
And actually I'm going to get it to the right length that we want. We're going to sand this down with 220 grit sandpaper. Once it's sanded down, we're going to use a plastic spray paint, which is just a paint that sticks to plastic
0:30
was gonna do that blue, but I figured since it's a ring tube
0:33
you're gonna see it anyway, so I might as well just paint it white and it'll look good. This is what I gonna be using just some white gloss adheres to wood metal plastic and more indoor outdoor use corrosion resistant So just a high gloss white that sticks to plastic which is what PVC basically is And that way we will have a nice shiny rigging tube over there that will blend in with the rest of the shine of the boat and it won look too bad
1:28
So sticking on some saw horses and some tubes so we can roll it as we spray it
1:33
And then once we get a painted white, we'll stick it to the boat. I'm gonna be
1:42
and the other than the whole, we'll get a good for the man. Oh, oh, oh, ah
2:11
For our rigging tube, we got this painted up
2:21
We got it all set up. I've got a piece of our one and a half inch
2:25
Oh, whoopsies. So I got a piece of one and a half inch here clamped to the horse saw So that way we can spin this one on it as we paint it So that what we doing We going around here We doing a strip on the top probably two passes
2:40
And then after the two passes, what I'm doing is rolling it over and doing another two passes
2:45
Because if I did more than that, as you roll it, the paint starts to roll and starts to lip up and wrinkle
2:51
So I'll just keep doing that until I run out paint basically just to make it a nice, shiny white for our eyes
2:57
rigging tube. Now when it comes to putting this rubber rail on I'm actually going to take these brackets here and I'm going to cut a little piece of rubber just a little sliver that I can put back here just to tighten it up and keep it from rattling and being any kind of noisy
3:12
A little problem with the rigging tube. So two things
3:27
the angle of this or well I guess you could call it the curvature of the boat here
3:33
you got that curvature like that and the pipe is straight it's a lot of stress to put on
3:41
the pipe to put it in like that I already panned the pipe so we can heat it and melt it so I think what I going to do is since I already going to be putting a clamp here in the middle
3:53
what I'll do is I'll cut the pipe and then I'll have the two pipes budding up against each other
3:59
which will give a little gap there like this. I can then cover the gap with the support
4:05
I'm going to figure out where exactly I'm going to put this middle support. And then once I figured that out, I will go ahead and cut the support
4:12
and cut the pipe right there. So that way there'll be a little bend, but it'll be behind the bracket of the rigging tube
4:20
And so you'll never see it. And it'll let the, it'll take the tension off of the pipe as it makes this bend inside of the gunnel here
4:30
Right there, you can see how much of a bend it is. I'll put this bracket here. Once this bracket's here, then I'll have that one
4:36
Measure between the two. Do the math to figure out where each one of those need to go
4:41
and then I'll mount those up
