For the gel coat I used patch aid which I really liked. It made the gel really hard and leveled out pretty good. Once it dried I sanded with 400 to 1500 then compounded it. It came out like glass. Then it was time to figure out where the bracket was getting mounted. I made a template of the bracket with some 1/4" luan and transferred the holes from the bracket to the transom. All the holes got 3 coats of epoxy to seal up the core.

Then it was time to mount the bracket which I hung from a tree. I used 1/2" stainless bolts and 1/4" stainless washers. On the inside of the transom I used a 4' piece of 4" aluminum c channel as a backing plate. I used 5200 around all the bolts and washers. Where the bracket meets the transom I ran a bead of 4000 because it won't yellow like the 5200 will.
