Default Re: Stainless Steel Transom

If it's less then 3/8" it's not going to take any flex out of the stern. Then it's gonna be a real bear to get it off when you go to redo the stern. I put a 3/8 plate on mine with about 10 tubes of 5200 and used it that way for 10 years.. Took a torch and 150,000 btu jet heater and one hour of heating time, 10 wedges and a big hammer to get it off...
