Transom Rebuild

[alejmend]

Started to take apart the transom. Had some fun with the a crobar. The previous owner raised the the transom 5" the cheap way. They built up the 5" using wood and fiberglass. We'll after a few whacks with the crobar the 5" raise came flying out.


Notice the rotten wood sandwiched between the layers of fiberglass.

Here's another shot.



Here's a shot of the big steel plate that was on the outside and inside of the transom.




Question for you guys. In this picture how is the "A" part attached to the transom? Is it epoxyed to the transom core? I saw CSC board member "Will" cut out the inside as depicted by the red lines. Just curious how difficult it its to remove the section labeled "A". I know i need to remove the screws attaching the inner liner to the hull.



Thanks.
