Default Re: Transom help On a v20 center console

What has to be done is redo, Now if it was I and I wanted to use the boat and the transom is solid, no flexing, I would bolt and go!!

see the water that got in there is still there and over time is going to rot some more. But it is going to take time!!

Is it solid right now?? with motor on and you lean on the leg is the transom moving, cracking noise or anything??
If not use it, keep a eye on it, when she is moving or anything redo again.

Find some 1/2 alum plate and put on the bolts as a backing plate lets sat 3" X 12" or so drill to match the bolt holes, use some longer bolts to mount motor.
This will help distraput the weight,better

Good luck
