For those who don't know Cuttyhunk, the oyster farm runs a raw
bar off a big skiff at cocktail hour during the season. They
deliver right to your boat. I'm biased but think they're the best
oysters anywhere.

85 Sabre 32 pic (prior to cleaning and teak work finished) shows my four cowl vents.? I read in a prior recent post that you can clean (somehow) and paint these with Rustoleum spray paint.? I found the Rustoleum - time to remove the cowls.? One reference said they screw in? One said they just pop in and out?? Sure would like to know before I tear something up.? Can anyone inform me please?
Our teak eyebrows were too thin to retain the bungs as well. Common problem for a 30+ year old boat. I pulled them off, removed the screws and plugged the holes with teak bungs. They were then refinished and reattached with 3M automotive tape. Going on their third season with no issues.?
There are a few of things you can do, but note these are just ideas I have not done this on my boat:
?
First, you can use a polyurethane glue such as Gorilla Glue to glue in the bungs, that expands with moisture/humidity when curing and will fill in any gaps.
?
Second, you could use teak dust mixed with Titebond to glue the bungs into place. ?
?
Lastly, if you want something more easily removable, you could get colored wood trim caulk at Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, etc. and use that to either glue in the bung or simply fill in the hole. ?Won't be a perfect match but easy enough to remove in the future if desired. ?I just did something similar on wood trim in my house and it worked great, but that is not outdoors either so not sure how long that would hold up.
This is pretty common after being sanded down too many times.? The real solution is to replace the eyebrows, or just get rid of them.? If you do a search of the archives for eyebrow replacement there should be quite a few threads.? There's a Sabre drawing showing the (original) profile of the existing eyebrows.?? Not a minor project when all is said and done.?? You might possibly be able to counterbore the existing hole slightly deeper after removing the screws.? That would give you a little more depth for the bungs.? But I never tried that? - there just isn't a lot of wood left to work with.?

We would be interested if dates match our vacation dates. Late July/early August best fit for us. And, yes, the mooring field both outside and inside in Cuttyhunk Harbor may fill up fast, especially on week ends. That said, great idea.
