Re: Transom replacement???
Hi Ed, Maybe a bit hard on Don, we have decided that a good inspection of the transom is necessary before it could be left on. I think the fact that he makes or sells a product has nothing to do with recomending it as it is in his mind a good product. I think it is and may get one.
On some of the marlin sites I belong to I sometimes recomend my stuff because I thinks it may be the best for someone.
I know tapping on wood is the way many people test the transom but I know from many years of repaireing boats the best way would as i've done checked around the through holes like the engine bolts and scuppers and of course the drain plug.
Those being like new, I will drill small holes in the corners and along the top.
If still clean good holes I won't take out the whole transom just fill in the top and step scarf the piece in.
My method to conect the bracket to the hull more and the transon less should give me strenth I want.
I got a lot of good info from emails that are a real help. And some great on line stuff. Thanks guys, I'll photo log it as I go.
