transom question

[spareparts]

haven't tried this my self, but one of the neatest quick fixes I've heard about was a guy I know took a big drill bit and drilled holes down from the top of the transom till he got into good wood, then took a dowel the same size as the hole, soaked the dowel in resin or epoxy and drove the dowel into the hole till it bottomed out, waited for the resin to cure, then cut the dowel off flush, he continued with this till most af the wood was replaced. the holes were drill at a slight angle from side to side, after going across the transom once, he came back form the other side with a reverse angle on the next row of holes. His point was" I'm replacing wood with wood". Not a bad idea, haven't tried it myself. I wonder if you would pick up a little strength by makeing the hole a little big, then putting some "Kitty Hair" in there before driveing the dowel in?
