Tinted Textured Transom Cap!
I'd first like to thank Stinky and Skools for their informative input.
This the original plastic transom cap.  This is what we found under it. *Wood was solid where we could get to it.  The Mac Attack is getting a new motor so we decided to rap the cap in glass before we had it mounted. *The 150 Force is removed.  My brother in law Dan, and partner on the new E-Tec, grinds out the old filler that has cracked through the years.  Puddy has been removed.  Cap was then sanded to remove the gel coat.  Holes were drilled in the top of the cap and all the wood that could be gotten to was treated with CPES. *CPES is an epoxy sealer like get rot.  The opening was then filled with 1/4 inch chopped glass and epoxy resin to fill the void.  This was then sanded to a rounded shape as Stinky and Skools have told us.  I then refilled the small holes or any openings with a paste made from talc like powder and epoxy resin.  The cap was sanded and then wrapped with glass tape. *I used two layers of tape because it is not too thick.  I then retaped the cap and applied a tinted talc paste with a paint brush. *The texture was acheived by using a plastic scouring pad.  Tape was removed before the texture coating was completely cured. *I'm pretty much satisfied with the project. *Time will tell!

Hammer I used two layers of fiberglass tape, 3" and 6". The 6" was cut to fit. Billy Mac ;D

Re: Tinted Textured Transom Cap!
You did a great job there!! Better then I would ever had done!!
The only thing I would have done was over lap more, you are supose to go 3" past the repair all the way around, But I am sure you are fine!! This is going to go in the How to section when I get around to it!!
