Transom Cap advice 1990 V20 O/B

[Disturbed]

I recently bought a 1990 V20 with a Johnson 175 O/B. Part of the transom cap is broken and missing. I want to replace the entire cap. Has anyone had any luck replacing theirs? I can't seem to find any info on the subject. It is 2.5" thick, and I'm not sure if I will be able to properly bend aluminum C channel if I find it due to the sharp almost 90 degree corners. Does anyone have any suggestions?

a few here just removed the motor and glassed the cap over, no more issues! looked good also.

Personally i would not put the aluminum cap back on. Its a water trap. Plus as MJ said it looks better when you glass the transom over. Even if its just a bead of West System Six10 epoxy where the liner and transom meet.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm leaning toward glassing it over. I just REALLY didn't want to have to remove the engine.

I'm gonna agree on the glass over also.
