I did have a problem with a slightly wet transom. My top corners formed stress cracks and water intruded. I cut the top of the transom glass off in the corners, dug out the wood and filled it with a thickened epoxy mix after inserting 2, 14 inch galvanized steel rods as far as they would go. When I drilled the holes for the bracket, it was dry and solid everywhere except one hole. Everything is fine after hanging 1000 lbs of bracket and motors hanging off the back for 3 months. I still have not done my finish work so this weekend I will be at it again.
