Oh, Jesus fricken Christ. If I were a cat I'd already be dead. Again got nosey and pulled the motor off to remove the aluminum transom cap, figured I could reseal it. More plundering I ended up removing the wood in the transom, the center was fine but the sides were nonexistant. Like daddy said you've gone this far can't stop now.

How do you work the spacer blocks after the pour?...

Intending on glassing the hole this weekend. There are some things to be aware of if intending to do this and we're working the problems out as we go. Daddy has done this three times on other boats and we'll see if this is the best yet. My wifes 16'' Remington electric chain saw was instrimental in preforming the task.

The spacer blocks were just an initial hold for the 5200 to the inside walls to the transom which will be removed when the "pour" will be done. There are a lot of other concerns as we go. As to not fill the assend full of resin but get a good balance between glass and cloth. Again this might be trial and error. The most important thing probably will be to maintain 2-2 1/8'' on the transom.

You know the defination of insanity is preforming the same task over and over but yet expecting different results. If the wood rotted, why are you replacing with wood???

Reel this is what we did sofar, please let me know if it don***8217;t make sense. First we cut the cap off with a small cutoff wheel. It seemed to kick up less dust and got in the corners.
