New transom wood - how to hold in place

[FELLOW-SHIP]

I had and barrowed a bunch of sea clamps, plus I used the glue and screw method. I used the sea clamps on the top of the transom and used screws through a lot of the existing through hull fittings on the transom you can use a block of wood on the outside of the transom and a long wood screw or you can use bolts and washers drilling through the plywood and through the existing wholes in the transom. There will be a few arrears you might decide to use that do not have existing wholes that’s OK you can fill them up later. On the 2 layer of plywood you can screw from the inside to the existing plywood of the first layer of transom material. I used ¾” marine grade plywood after the job I decided that if I had to do this all over again I would use 3 layers of ½” instead easier to work with and 6 layers of epoxy on the plywood instead of 4. Now 1 & ½ years later I would use the new composed material ya they cost more but no concern of water rotting 10 years from now either.
