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. |
