Transom Survey this am...issues-some questions....

[oldbluesplayer]

ESD - in your location, I would agree, that a mildly damp transom will survive for quite awhile - but the location he gives is Baltimore - up there he is going to see some freezing weather in the winter - take a damp/ wet transom, add freezing weather, and it will get softer, a whole lot quicker. Take that, and hang a 200hp motor - the stresses will accumulate.
