Default Re: another wet transom

When I was shopping for boats, I had a GRP electronic moisture meter. 90% of the boats that were over 4 years old, with a low cut transom, had moisture penetration in the transom. This was regardless of manufacture, seacraft, contender, etc. I looked at over 30 boats, and the majority of them where wet. Some showed no signs or problems, but the meter dosen't lie. Usually it was penetration around drains/scullpers, or in the case of alot of seacrafts, the screws that hold the aluminum trim around the transome let water in.
