Yes the 5200 is a permanet fix!!

But if its leaking I would bet its because the transom is full of water!

So you have some work ahead of you!!

Pull the motor off and inspect the holes (and your transom) for rot. If the rot isn't too bad then you can over drill the holes, fill with epoxy, and "sleeve" the area. I'd try to avoid using 5200 for to seal out water . . . 4200 comes off a lot easier.

Just finished talking with my banker( wife ) to start a fund to pay for the new transom this winter when all the strippers are gone. I missed them last year not this one.
