On both 23's I have those rear box drains were the reason the transom rotted. After replacing the transom I epoxied in fiberglass tubes so there's no chance of it happening again. If you're going to cut into the transom you might as well do it the right way and replace the whole transom.

Should I go on and do it now? (No sign of fatigue) it's an I/O with new coosa at the drive extending out several feet. Should I keep running it and keep an eye on it or put it to bed this winter and redo it all?

What's the cost of replacing a transom the right way considering I will not do it myself?
