: any sugestons for triming the underside of cocpit coaming?
: sage.

On my strip-built coaming I trim it fairly close with a saw and then use a rasp to get everything flush. A Japanese wood rasp works well, or a micro-plane might work also. Those who are daring can use a high speed right-angle grinder with sand paper.
