I needed to see some kind of progress on the transom so I took out the grinder (my new best friend) and took care of the inside of the transom skin. I did 5 mins on removing some of the wood from the transom but it looks like it wants to be real stubborn.
How I wish that there was a power tool to get this job done easier...I would buy it in a sec.
I now know why the 2 sides are rotten and the middle is better. The inside skin of the transom did not go all the way up leaving a place for water to get in.. The cap helped some but water had a way of getting in.
Either way it needs to come out and raised to a 25" transom
