If by "sealer" you mean Git-Rot or equivalent, the wood must be DRY, DRY, DRY in order to work...and the patch stuff is not structural and will crack like crazy when you mount the motor back on the transom...I learned this hard lesson on this '84...if there's not much movement to the transom and you aren't gonna repair now, seal any openings w/3M 4200 and use same to seal down the alum cap you mention...the 4200 is strong stuff and will FLEX when the motor bracket gets TORQUED down...mine, on the orher hand went SNAP-CRACKLE-POP!!...
