Season’s greetings, all!
Shortly before winter arrived we removed the teak eyebrows over the ports on each side of the boat and filled the screw holes with Marinetex. This eliminated several elusive leaks that I had been attributing to the Bomar ports.
I was wondering what other owners have done to remedy the shaved eyebrow look. Replacing the teak trim would look best, but I really don’t want to drill more holes. Anybody have a solution?
Best regards,
Quent

Quent,
Haven’t removed the eyebrow (I do have a small leak around the aft portlight
in the head – maybe I need to), but if or when I think I would go with
black paint to match the cove stripe. I don’t think I would put the teak
back on or replace it in kind.On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 8:12 AM, quent <> wrote:

Quent,
Someone painted stripes down the edge of his coach-roof to simulate the teak trim. Maybe someone could reply with a link to photos. I’ve lost track of how often I’ve pulled the screws out and rebed them to fix a leak. It would be nice if there were a convenient way to attach the trim without holes. I’ve done this for teak decking, but not something as difficult to attach as this.Rich

On the other hand, I’ve seen Lee’s boat and he removed the teak, filled the
holes and panted the deck. It makes the boat look much more modern, I
think, and far less prone to leakage.Also: Less maintenance.
I wish I could replace my caprail with those new decking materials that look
as good as my current teak does but won’t deteriorate any more which my teak
will.You could replace the eyebrow with that material, too. It won’t look great
but it won’t look bad, either.Bob

I considered using TREX for decking in my cockpit but decided to go with real teak. I spoke to a guy who did the whole deck on his Pearson Vanguard with the stuff and he’s very happy with the results. He glued it down with epoxy following the West System instructions. The stuff is durable and flexible, but you’d still have to drill holes to mount it. In theory, it could remove the screws after the epoxy sets, but filling the holes without gravity to help might be difficult.Rich

My trim was leaking badly and caused all of the teak damage to my interior
cabintop teak. We removed the trim and using some thickened epoxy filled the
holes and left it ugly. When we clean up the cabintop this spring I plan to
put a vinyl trim on the cabin top to cover up the filled holes with no gel
coat over them.This is similiar to what Hi Flite did: http://www.hiflite.org/eyebrow.htm

Owners no more...
Thanks Dawn and Patrick! -
Thanks, guys. Paint or tape seem like good options. I’ll probably go with tape. We will cover up that stripe of unfaded gelcoat.
The teak eyebrow was bedded in silicon caulk, which held fast even after the screws were removed. So maybe the eyebrow could just be glued on.
Some sections of the eyebrow aren’t too bad if anyone needs some.
John, I hope you are keeping warm down there and in good health.
Best regards,

On Hiflite we filled the holes like you did and covered it with stripe
tape we bought at a marine overstock store. See it here:

Lady Leanne had her eyebrows trimmed off several years ago. The PO filled the holes and gel coated (?) over them so there is no trace of them. I believe that he also replaced the teak hand holds with stainless ones at the same time. The boat has a much cleaner look without them, based upon my view of other boat’s pix.
