transom (Mako)

[culley06]

First of all, great site. I migrated over at the recommendation of classicmako.com and others. I am "restoring" a 90 Mako 250 Walkaround, twin 150s. Really just resealing all hatchs, rewiring, replumbing, scraping out old foam around fuel tank, new fuel hoses, etc. Nothing like the structural stuff many of you are doing-very impressive. My question concerns the transom. Please help if you can. Thanks

When I removed all the trim tabs, transducer mounts etc from the transom, one of the #8 screws used for cable transducer tie downs (below water line, very near the drain plug hole) leaked about a quart of water. All the other holes were dry, including the transducer mount holes below. The transom is not soft, seems very solid by my unsophisticated testing. Any thoughts?
