If they cut away the bracket and redo the transom, why can't they use the bracket over again to accomodate the suzuki? I'm assuming this is a 20' with a 140 on the back right? Show us some pics and we can help. Best of luck with it!

Would a soft transom really bend a motor bracket? Is there that much torque?

sorry guys I was away from my computer.....the boat is a 20 the soft spot is where the lower port side bolt goes through the transom.....the boat yard tightened and glued it up yesterday so the leak is gone, but you can see that the metal plate on the insibe of the transome is bent,from the bolt being tightened....I'm going to try to get through the season,but I have to do something this winter.
Thanks, Blackfin P.S. the boat runs great with the 140 |

When I first noticed some flex on my transom I used this method to determine the flexing. With the boat on the trailer and the motor slightly raised( like you were trimed for wot) have someone stand on the motor fins and softly bounce up and down. If there is flex. You will see it.
If you can make it through the season, great but start making plans for a new transom now.
