transom question

[tsubaki]

Besides if the transom does give way the motor probably won't go to the bottom cause the steering and battery cables will hold it to the boat, oh and your boat does have floatation anyway. ;D
Just kidding, you'll be fine. The amount of wood that was not there on mine, the mold was plenty strong.

Post some Pics. of what ya got Twist. ;)

SKOOLZ, its a johnson 175. the same one you helped me (tx again) out with last year.

and sry guys, my wife has the camera w/ her in chicago, so thier wont be any 'action shots' but, i should be able to manage a few b4 & afters.

and hopefully, when i finaly get her wet, no pics of my motor passing the boat!

If you find that the interior wood in the transom is wet pour undiluted antifreeze on the wood let it soak in pour some more until the wood will not absorb any more . Antifreeze will kill the wood cancer for a while. Antifreeze will absorb the water epoxy won't. Once the antifreeze dries in the wood epoxy will stick to it. Strange but true; antifreeze will control athletes foot, it is not a cure.
