Re: Adding Bracket to New Transom
Platform height? It is even with my old boot stripe, about 3" above my old water line, so I hope it will be at or about the same height with the added bouyancy I hope to pickup? As far as attaching to the hull? It has overlapping layers of 1708 mat from both directions of all structual foam pieces that come into contact with the hull, sides bottom and both layers of Coosa26. I would say that the total laid up thickness of the glass is between 1/4" to 5/16" with each mew piece extending over the first onto new glass. The transom was beefed up using 3 pc's of 3/4" Okume ply glassed between each layer using the same 1708 mat. Also added large gussets to add stiffness to the new transom. As to the question, any bolts, No, hopefully my motor won't fall off??? Now U have me wondering if I should bolt the CMC bracket on and extend the bolts all the way thru the transom,???
