5200, but make sure the hole is dry first.. and I mean DRY!!!... as in leave the bolt out and hit the area with warm from a heater for a day or so dry. The wood in your transom does not like wet. Wet causes dry rot, which is the number 1 reason transoms rot out. Coat the bolt and the hole completely including the inside of the hole, then assemble.

5200.... Nothing is permanant.... A hammer knocks the bolts right out and a drill bit cleans the hole
Remember tho it is IMPORTANT to get ALL of any silicone out if it's in there.... The 5200 (or 4200 for that matter) won't seal to silicone... Drill the holes SLIGHTLY bigger if you have to.
