Yeah Curapa I put three layers of glass and plenty of resin on the top of transom already, I was thinking the same as you but it does make sense what destroyer is saying. I just don't know where to get it made so it will fit my thickness?

Look around online or in your phone book for a local sheetmetal shop. Pay them a visit in person late in the day when everyone is in a good mood with your dimensions...they'll probably bend you one up while you wait and charge you maybe $20 bucks...Not sure where you are located but if you are in NJ send me a pm and I can get you something.

You can also use vinyl siding corner piece. When i did mine, i wrapped it with glass and paint it different color so looks like a cap but fully waterproof.

Great idea! It looks fantastic, is waterproof, and won't corrode!
