My transom repair

[smkinnan]

I just wanted to upload some of the pics I took during the transom repair I recently did. I used Arjay based on recommendations from this site. I am really glad I did. If you are considering doing the transom repair, this is definately the product to get. Get in touch with Fiberglass Services in Tampa. They are the suppliers of this product.

Picked up an '88 20'CC with rotten transom; all else is solid. Got most of the wood out and plan on using Nidabond. Before you pour, is anything needed to prevent resin from running out at bottom of transom, if that makes sense. Haven't gotten down that far yet, just planning ahead.

When you get the wood out the way, take a rod and bend the end to have about a 2" 90 degree angle in it.
Probing in the bottom and any other places, see if there are voids toward the front or sides. Making the angle slightly longer than the fill area makes it quicker to find holes or gaps.
If you do find voids, you can pack some stuff in that general area to slow the hemorrhage of the fill material.
One thing that worked for me was a scuff material designed for floor sanding (from HomeDepot or Lowes). Looks like woven glass. If I can access the site long enough I'll try to see if there are pictures of the stuff (so far unsuccessful).

Looks great! I will be having to do mine soon also. The 76 V is showing all the typical signs of transom rot. I will be using the same stuff because of all the good reviews everyone says about it. Thanks!
