Is this a sign of transom problems?.

welcome aboard ;)

I have an 84 I/O and my transom is shot......but she still runs great and no problems so far. This spring I drilled a hole in the transom just above the water line to mount a wire clip for the transducer and WATER (a couple drops) actually came out of the hole I drilled. I ran her all summer with no problems and plan on running her until the outdrive falls off. So from what you described, my transom is worse than yours :-/ 8)
