Re: Transom suggestions/recommendations needed
Well, after attempting to dry the holes, I epoxied them up as best I could. They were still kind of wet inside and I really doubt they would ever get completely dry. Oh well, I had to close them up. When it rains, that well gets wet inside and I didn't want them soaking up any more water. I don't know how good the repair will hold. It least had the glass around the holes clean and dry. After I filled them, I noticed some weeping from the top hole. It's far away from the area that gets wet, so I'm gonna try not to worry about it.
I also did the "lower unit jump test". The transom didn't flex any whatsoever. So, I think I'm at least OK for this season..... I wasn't planning to start until the fall anyway.
I brought my wife outside and showed her what I'm contemplating doing. She wasn't excited..... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
