Then I needed to get the transom patched up, faired and gel coated so I could mount the bracket. For the I/O hole I laid up 5 layers of 1708 on a waxed panel and cut that to fit the hole then glassed the seam. All the holes and spider cracks of the transom were ground out and got at least 2 layers of mat. If they were deep enough I used a layer of 1708 then mat. For the ice box drains instead of going back with the brass drain tubes that leaked and ruined the transom I used fiberglass tubes and faired them in.
