Hermco,
No, I’m not set on which side of the boat to approach this problem from. I just thought that was a topic for another discussion. Since we are here now, I do have a few questions about doing a transom from the outside.
Pictures on most threads I’ve seen that have done the job from the outside have made a cut similar to what I show in red.
How do you get bad wood out of the areas I’ve marked as B, and if parts of a new transom are installed in those area, how do you get a bound a bond between the new pieces and the inside of the glass skin?
How do you get the new transom in place unless you divide each new layer (assume two, at ¾” each?) into multiple pieces, and don’t these additional joints tend to weaken the new work?
