Holes in transom

[Skools Out]

no don't use clear tape lol i tried but the epoxy eats the glue and then it comes loose and leaks all down your transom and don't add any thing to make it thicker just as thin as possible so it will soak into the wood deep and make it strong and solid as a rock. i'm going to the coast tomorrow do you need some Galv. washers for your inside of the transom 1/2 inch bolts? these washers are about 1/4 to 3/8 thick and 3 1/2 to 4 inches round with 1/2 inch center bolt hole? i use them on all my motors they help spread the weight and last ones i bought were $.79 ea but i think they are a whole $1.30 ea now i think but may be less or little more.
