When I replace my motor I'd like to replace the cap of the transom. *Has any one replace theirs and if so with what? *Thanks Billy Mac
Here's a photo of what I'd like to replace.

I don't have that piece but most are made from angle alum.
But you will not be able to duplcate the curve like that, you will have to piece it or cut it to bend it.
Whats wrong with the one you have?? Can't see any damage from the poic you showed?

If I were to remove my trim, I'd get some 4" tape (glass) and some epoxy. Remove the trim, sand the area, a lay up a few layers with the glass tape. That way the the seam is sealed better to water. Before starting I'd tape off the area in a straight line, then paint when finished.

There are some cracks in the plastic. I just thought that if the motor is removed I replace it. I know if it ain't broke don't fix it. Billy Mac ;D

Nice job Skools. I'm looking for a quick fix unless when the plastic is removed it uncovers a problem. Thanks Billy Mac ;D

What school did is very nice. I use the aluminum angel stuff and cut to fit but my cap got trashed whe we took it off so I had to make something. Yours looks pretty claen I would just repair the cracks and give it a coat of pait. My transom is sealed on the top so I could leave it uncovered but it would look like crap.
