Another question - What to do about the HIN?? It (as of now) is going to end up in the bevel area for the fiberglass lay-up on the outside of the transom..
Warthog - I will check the pumps and plan on using a scale as well.. Thanks.
oldbluesplayer - That is what I am using my homemade adze for. Cut loose with a wood chisel then pull the chunk out with the adze. This process became possible (as you mentioned) after I finally got to the bottom of the transom and could get some tools in there to work with..
Thanks for the prep reminder - It seems like it would be easy to get in a hurry and skimp on the prep steps..
Gradysailfish - I guess my transom is now an inside/outside job now that I have access to the inside.
My choice for epoxy was RAKA -
