Default Re: Transom Re-Build Check List...

Terry - saw Skip and Carla tonight and reviewed what we did on their 21's transom, and there are a couple of things you may want to add to list. When you say bed core to transom skin, I assume you mean coat the transom skin with cabosil, troweled to create "V" grooves in it. We also put some randomly spaced holes in core to allow air to escape, per recommendations from Dan of Fiberglass 1. Seems like the air bleed holes were about 3/8" in diameter, but you may want to confirm that with Skip. You may also want to have some provisions for clamping the core to transom skin until the cabosil cures. Also need to wash off amine blush on any epoxy coated surfaces that have cured overnight. Otherwise your list looks pretty good. Denny
