Then we dug out the transom with storebought and homemade tools, wifes 16***8221; electric chainsaw, prybar, flat chisel, flat scraper, lost tool or bolt grapple, shopvac with 1 ¼***8221; id hose extension.
Don***8217;t add oil to the chainsaw (figured if this works I can buy a new bar & chain), the flat scraper was cut on 45***8217; with a chopsaw and the weight alone did the work. 1 ¼***8221; auger bits and paddle bits with a drill motor were only used for some very fine work. We didn***8217;t cut or work above the rubrail, the rationalization was there is nothing structurally needed there plus it involves a lot more work.
