My transom is mulch. But it's stiffer than most.


I put 3" aluminum C channel spreaders on the transom. One in the bilge, and one up where the top bolts/ cables/ fuel lines route. It has been that way for about 10 years...


I am going to get bracket grease and fish blood on the transom so I don't care if it isn't the Mona Lisa, but it gets me home.
