: I need to cut a slot in my hull 1/2" wide and about 14" long using
: an awkward router. My thinking was to cut two 1/2" thick plywood
: strips and glue 1/2" spacers betreen them at each end making a
: 1/2" slot. Then fasten this slot pattern over the area I want to cut
: out and plunge a 1/4" router bit through the boat and let part of the
: smooth bit shank guide against the pattern slot sides. It seems like this
: would work.

Hey John
It sounds like you are installing a retractable skeg?
If so, do you have more info or pics
Thanks Terry
