Re: Transom Swells about half an inch
I did some boat work for one of my neighbors on some rotted wood and what I did was cleaned out the rotted wood as best as I could and then I poured resin and layed glass. I wasn't able to get every bit of wood out but I hand painted a coat of resin over everything. Before it hardened I used seacast foam on top of that. He still has the boat and so far (knock on wood) it hasn't shown any signs of cracking or seperating.
One member is right it's expensive and shipping is almost as bad. |
Re: Transom Swells about half an inch
hey billfish ,im new to this site too . listen to these fellas they know what theyre talking about, i havea 77 v20 i/o i rebuilt the transom in ,it took a lot of time but it was well worth it. i cut the inner skin out and the wood core was like dirt. i couldnt tell until i cut some small holes in it around the gimble . i then cut it ALL out ,cleaned it up ,and built it back with two layers of marine ply and layers and layers of chopped mat and about eight gallons of resin.i bought the glass and resin from a boat builder (carolina classic) close by. the marine ply was 3/4 inch and was 86.00 a sheet. it is strong as hell now. i hope i never have to worry about it again. carolina classic builders use fir ply ,they say the resin bonds to very good .dont play around with a bad transom ,it is the driving force of the whole boat.

Re: Transom Swells about half an inch
Thanks to all for your feedback. I live over an hour away from the boat and I plan on visiting her next weekend if the weather is not horrible. I will take pics and post them.

Attached, I think/hope, are some pics of the transom under the cap.
I drilled down about an inch or two and the shavings seemed to clean and dry.
