Re: Transom replacement
i first drilled 1/2 holes in the transom in an angle. center hole straight in and the out side from there are drilled towards the center. i did that so i could check for any rot or moisture. Only found wet in the mid area but new wood. they are all drilled 22" deep. found some soft areas on the sides so i cut out the soft area with the chain saw then filled with resin then drove in the wood. *plus the holes in the middle will let the resin soak the entire transom with resin so it will make it all solid and water proof. A boat builder told me to do that and it would make the transom stronger for my twins too.
