Skin Fittings Below Waterline - Best Practice?

What should I be using to seal the timber first?

Epoxy anything is good.

An excellent timber sealer is "Everdure". First released 40 or 50 years ago by Epiglass. Still available under the International brand from Bias/Witworths etc.

Follow their instructions re sealing treatment for marine timber applications (first coat thinned with epoxy thinners, 50% from memory), then reduce % with additional coats. Brilliant!

Maybe there are other good products available now too, and I have to move with the times...

Cheers mate, I put 2 coats of the "West System" epoxy on today, was pretty straightforward in the end.
Thanks again for your help.
Scott.
