    transom repair options

    Is that still wood at the very bottom? ( from post 34 top pic) You may need to chisel that out in order to get a solid sheet of plywood up against the entire transom. I used pink foam insulation to may my transom template once you get to that stage.

    transom repair options

    Scott is correct! You gotta get down through all the gel coat to get a good bond with the new stuff. It’s a long messy process but it must be done. Go at least 6 inches past where you think you’ll be laying new fiberglass. That way you’ll sure to leave yourself plenty of working area.
