Transom issue need help

[mazz888]

Hey guys found this crack when I took the cover off the boat I saw a small crack under the aluminum transom cover took it off and found this. Is it possible to get it though the season with some kind of a repair and then redo the transom next winter or am I toast?

The odds are 100% your transom wood is mush!!! Not to be too much of a smart ass, I'm thinking butter and grape jelly with the toast. You can't take a chance of more damage and as you know the safety of the family is the most important factor!!!

Thanks yeah safety is number one for me I take it offshore to fish for giant tuna so safety is paramount.

Safe bet if you live where things freeze, that's what happened !

Wet transom froze = Shot transom !!

I would not risk it !

I see Seacast talked about with good success by people on thehulltruth.com, its not that expensive and can be done by someone who is mechanically inclined.

I used Arjay on my transom and "Skipper Tee" (Bowrider'65) used the Seacast. I'm happy with mine and as with all boat repairs remember rule #1, it's all in the "prep work"!!! If there is any doubt refer to rule #1!!!

Toast... Probably been that way for a while so you are on borrowed time. The good news is that you get to go composite and if done right you will never have to worry about it again. Start stocking up on the baby powder as it keep you from getting so itchy when you're grinding.

I see you have an 83 hull, so do I. I'd be interested in what under there.
