Did you stick in the Hull nut on the transom to stop any water from coming in. ???

YES

I get maybe an inch of water in my transom splash well.

I had more than an inch

Has your transom been cut down at all ????

Not that i know of, how do i tell?

Ive heard of guys talking about installing a piece of starboard in the splash well on either side of the motor
to cut down on water from getting in on choppy days.

Get that camera and post some picks, and I'm sure we can fix the problem.
