Wart,
It was going to be my next move....if this didn't do it I was going to rip the whole transom out and start that major rebuild.

miles,
I've got to get my number one fishing buddy healed up....my fiance. She spent the week in the hospital with what we thought was a bad appendix...she had a high fever of 103 degrees and severe cramps in her right side. I brought her home last night and she is feeling better. The weather looks good for one this Saturday, but it a bit too quick to take her out 100+nautical miles. We are still not 100% sure what is wrong with her....possible kidney infection.

Any way it sure feels good when the first thoughts you have about your boat are not...."blasted tranom!".
