Default Re: Another transom job-update

I did the same thing on my last 23cc. Removed the live well which was inconvienient anyway and moved the splash well aft. You'll love the extra room since most people tend to fish off of the stern.

Very nice. Can you tilt the Zuke all the way up? will it interfere w/ the front of the newly cut down tub?

Tilts all the way up with no interference.
Suzuki also has a tilt limit adjustment.

Very nice work. Looks great. Where in jersey is MS located. And is that a very small wedge built into the exterior of the transom? I figure it must have some purpose and just hadn't seen that before. Thanks. Part II.

MS is on the Mulica river in Port Republic a few miles south of the Viking yacht plant.
The wedge is there because the old transom was bowed out out of shape in both directions and they could not get it perfectly flat again so they added extra glass to make it flat for the new motor.

Thank you. Makes a lot of sense. Wish I had found this site pre-1999 when I had mine done. Would have done the 25" and repowered with a 25" motor. Live and learn.

Nice rig you've got there. Where do you keep her/fish most?

Thanks all for the compliments.
I have a slip at Leonardo state marina on Sandyhook bay and fish the Raritan bay for Fluke & Stripers, offshore for tuna & mako.Its a good feeling when you know you got a solid transom and reliable power when your 30 miles out.
She has a new fuel tank and a total rewiring too.
