I understand the transom may become solid this way..........but what's holding this newly filled / cured transom to the rest of the boat ?

It's still supporting the engine, torque, wave action etc so what keeps the rock hard transom from falling off, engine included ?

I didn't have any problem and it was wasted! It's usually not too bad by the sides of the boat.

Huron Blue,

Thanks for the information. One question on using the Seacast - How did you check for leaks into the bilge area before pouring the Seacast?

It looks like you used Duct Tape to seal the engine mounting holes on the outer transom skin. Did you use that on the inner skin also?

I'm thinking of using Seacast after cleaning out the rotten transom wood on my project. I was thinking of pouring water into the cavity between the outer skin and the inner skin - that for sure would show any potential holes where the Seacast could flow into the bilge.
