Minor Setback ! After getting all the foam blocks out of the transom, I started cleaning up around the edges and then I realized that the foam core layer was sitting upon a layer of 1/4" thick Bondo. That probably didn't help with preventing the delamination of the transom. I started removing it in chuncks with a chisel and hammer and ended up sharpening a masonary hammer and taking it out in big pieces rather than turning it all into dust with a grinder. A 2 hr effort got it about 1/2 done.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle all the plugged holes in the outer skin? Some holes were plugged with plywood, others with Bondo and many others with caulk, dowels and silicone. The one thing for sure---there's a lot of them ! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
