another wet transom

[OTTERLY COOL]

Hey Fellowship !!!

How Ya' Doin'?

Thanks for answering the other night.

I'm directing this to you since you seem to be pretty knowledgeable and helpful.

As I said the other night when I joined the board, I have a wet transom in my 23 I/O. It's not soaked but pretty damp. Strangely enough it's not that wet by the bell housing but there seems to be an "H" pattern of wetness formed by the outer edges with a bar across the middle of the entire transom - each leg of the H is about a foot wide.

One of the other fellows suggested that since I don't have 700 lbs. of outboards hanging off the back, it's probably no too critical. On the other hand, while I agree with his observation, I would like to fix the problem as well as possible without ripping off the transom (which in my case would obviously require taking the outdrive apart).

What are your ideas on the situation and how would you "fix" it without redoing the whole thing?

Thanks
