I will be attacking my transom job very shortly. I will be going in from the inside.

I have a few questions for those who have " been there, done that ":

I would rather not take the top, stern cap off. But, I cannot think of another way to get to the very rotted stern towing-eye(s) for the transom r/r there. I might just get rid of these and not repair that part of the transom if there is no easy solution. I mean it's not structural and will have no effect on anything other than the ability to tow from there. What do you think ?

I have a (2) i/o configuration going to (1) i/o. Has anyone had experience 'reducing' , i.e cutting out the middle and reglassing, the present LARGE i/o engine cover for the reduced engine area while ? Also,increasing the floor and the rear apron areas now that there will be less engine room needed ?

Thx
