Termites????
What I previously thought to be a solid transom may now have a few voids in it. Found a few termites crawling out through the stern light. Anyone have any experience with this? Can I just have the boat tented like a house or will I have chemical reactions with rubber, oil, fuel, etc.? Help!! [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Termites????
TERMITES !!!!!
Forget the tent .... that sounds like a definite transom restore. You have no way of telling what the integrity of that wood is ..... I'm not an Entomologist but I dont think termites are fond of saltwater ... if thats the case that would mean (if the transom is wet) that it is most likely freshwater and that would = ROT on top of your other problem Wet is one thing ....Termites ...YIKES [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [ July 28, 2003, 04:49 PM: Message edited by: Scott ]

Re: Termites????
TENT Your HOUSE ! If their in Your Boat chances are They have moved from Your House or ?
Put Your boat by the House & do both of them at once.Some places can tent Your boat only.Depending on the House sometimes the charge isn't much diff.I'm just worried they'll start liking Foam . or BEER !!!!!!!!!! Scream'n Reels [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Oh Yea it's the same.

Re: Termites????
Thankfully the boat is kept nowhere near the house so I don't think thats the source. Guess I need a special trip just for the boat though.
Scott, I hear your point although its not in the cards this season. Also, my observations & a fairly recent survey (a SeaCraft owner as well) lead me to believe the transom is in fairly good shape.
