Default Re: 73' Potter-Built 20' Transom

If I do determine that the transom needs work, what are your thoughts on core drilling the transom and filling the holes w/ epoxy to add strength to the transom? I found the following on rotdoctor.com...does this sound like it would be adequate and effective?

Outboard Transom Repair


Drill 1/4" holes across the top of the transom, about 5 to 7 inches apart and allow the interior to air dry.

Drill a drain hole at the bottom.

After the interior is dry, inject the CPES™ into the holes, recapture excess at the drain hole, and re-inject.

Allow at least two weeks for the CPES™ carrier solvents to evaporate away.

Close the bottom drain hole with Fill-It™ epoxy filler.

Using a turkey baster, flow pure mixed Layup and Laminating Resin™ into the holes. Keep applying it until the holes will accept no more.

Let cure 24 hours.
Close the holes with Fill-It™ epoxy filler.

Sand smooth and apply a water-barrier paint.
