Default Re: How to check a transom

It would be pretty funny if you pull out a drill and tell the owner you just want to check a few things
Actually, I've done that. On a 25' Mako with twin Merc 200's, I asked permission to drill several holes in the transom, providing I plugged and re-gelcoated. I told him why I wanted to do it, and the owner said okay. So I did. I had 2 damp holes near the lower mounting bolts between the motors, and 8 dry holes. I bought the boat.
