I have never did a full transom job, But I did know that the glass was thick!! I had to fill my hole when I converted from I/O to the gill bracket.

I used two 3/4 ply's (1 1/2) to make the same thickness? But you say its only 1 1/4 ?

Any way what I did was glass the 2 boards toghter and in thur the inside. Then I used matt in layers till I made the hole the same thickness as the rest of the transom.

So what do you have to fill? If you fill the transom with the same thickness in ply, you should just have to glass the skin back on right?

Just trying to understand in case I ever have to do a hole transom.
Can't wait till you post pictures, and the rest of the info!! ;)
