Those transom trim caps are responsible for more failures than I can count.

Albury glasses theirs on top for this very reason.

You can plate it or use C channel and run essentially indefinitely if the metal properly takes the load, which is what I did.

did some research and there are several pourable repair company's .... seacast is the lightest at 6.7 # per gal... nida and arjay are 7.1-7.3 # per gal.... I also read of several DIY blends to make your own... then got to thinking ... if you can add balloons to resin ..... why could I not add them to this stuff.... MOre reading I guess ...

depends on who you ask ... a end user or seller... there are several builders using this as their transom for new builds.... I want strong .. and light ... and to last about 5 years .... that's when I plan to go into the transom and floor .... several people with MANY years of use on a pourable with great results .... some not so good .... pretty sure it is in the prep and detail when you do it ..
