In this thread is my transom rebuild using resin and cloth, poorly documented as it was. No reason not to apply the Seacast the same way.

About at page 6 and #51 post starts the transom.

Wet plywood may not mean the end of your transom just yet. There is a difference between wet and rotten. You may want to drill a few small holes (inside) to test. If the wood comes out wet on the drill bit but still appears wood colored you're ok. If its black and real mushy you have rot. Next, tilt the motor up and put your weight on it. Watch the transom for flexing and look listen for cracking sounds. The transom should flex very little if any. You can also tap on it with a screwdriver and listen for hollow sounds. If it fails these tests look for some threads on arjay. Its similar to seacast but cheaper. Many of us have had great success using it after hollowing the transom with a chain saw. Good Luck!
