Re: inboard to outboard
Hi there! As to the problem of a wet transom, I had the deck raised for several reasons, the main one being a "dry bilge". I don't know the condition of your deck but if it is a problem, you could remove and do the following:
1)build a larger engine area for ease of maintenance.
2)raise the floor to have a "true" flush deck.
3)have your recessed in deck fish box made deeper and insulated and drain out from the bottom at day's end (if you trailer)
4)build any deck hatch with a raised lip so water doesn't drain back in bilge, etc.
It really would be nice to have the i/b (wish I had one). The above may cost but with the savings from staying with "original setup" it may be the answer. Before I raised my old boat's deck, I also had problems with moisture, starters,... .
Sorry so long winded.
