Do you hollow out the shell and replace all the wood and seal it back together? Ideas?
Several ways to replace transom;

Hollow out and POUR

Remove skin from outside and replace wood

Remove skin from INSIDE and replace wood

We've seen all 3 here and depending on your skills, all are viable ways to go and fully expect a good result...search this forum for transom rebuilds and look here:

Lots of tranny replacements and rebuilds here...

It may be tempting to replace only the rotted part, unfortunately it needs to be ALL redone...
