Wow. That looks really nice. I've wanted teak flooring in my cockpit for year, but, despite reasonable proficiency with tools, etc., I am too afraid to tackle it on my own and the cost to pay someone else is prohibitive.

Nice job.

Yes, very nice job indeed!!
Isn't it a problem in the head?

Peter.

Hi Peter, what do you mean?

 

[PMvdb395DA]

I mean with, isn't it a problem because of the shower water with a teak floor.
Or can the teak resist that kind of circumstances?

The teak in the head is not fixed to the floor
if you want, you can lift it out before you have a shower, but it is no need to do it
It´s built in another way than the rest of the floors

Yes, very nice work, and what a great upgrade. Thanks for taking the time to post the photos.

How did you attach the deak to the cockpit deck? I have a few ideas for doing mine, and wondering what your solution was.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It´s glued and screwed with short screws, the glue is to seal it from leaking

Thanks Pete for the reply.

That sounds like the method West System covers in their manual. Do you have West System there? It's an epoxy resin system.

They say that one good way to attach the teak is to use self tapping screws after first applying a layer of thickened epoxy to the deck, like you would tile adhesive. You then remove the screws and chalk the gaps between the boards, or they have a black graphite type of thickener you can use if the wood was milled to 3/8" or less. Is this about what you did?

Thanks again.

The screws are still there, in the holes that are plugged with wooden plugs

Very Beautiful Job Indeed!
I have a 1992 350 EB and have been toying with the idea of removing the carpet in the salon and replacing it with teak also.
Couple of questions:
How hard was it to remove the carpeting?
Would I be able to use teak without the caulking as you did?
Looking at your dining table, how do you secure it underway?

Thanks
Dan

I think you answered this question yourself in my swimplatform thread, right?

Removing carpet is the easy part
You cant use the same kind of teak as I did, without caulking it
you could use some kind of premade boards like the one in the pic, it´s a lot quicker to work with

Looks great, I like the idea for the bathroom as we are always trying to wipe the floor in our head after showering to keep clean.

Where did you get the teak from?
