    Dumb Transom Question

    OK, I have been on here for over year now and something just came to mind as I was prepping my new wood transom. Why can't you just lay 20 to 30 layers of 1708 or 1808 Glass and just have a fiberglass transom instead of wood encased in fiberglass?

    Can Transom Plate Be Welded

    I cracked the inner transom plate (19' 1986 Sea Ray Seville) while tightening one of the bolts. It cracked because my transom is rotten. I am in the process of replacing the transom. Can I have this piece welded or will I need to buy a new one?

    Changing Outdrive Oil

    The manual for my alpha 1 says the drive must be all the way down when changing the oil. I can't get the drive low enough when on the trailer. Can I still do the oil change?

    I just finished a partial restore of my 1986 Sea Ray Seville 19' BR. I am looking to buy a Bimini, but I am not sure what size to buy. I was thinking of buying a 6 footer with 3 bows. It looks like they are sold in heights of 32" through 46". What size should I get?

    How Do You Clean-up Your Fiberglass Dust?

    Since I have been done with the demo and actually rebuilding, something always comes up and I have to grind again. I forgot to do something, it came out wrong, it sticks out a little, it?s not smooth enough (the list never ends)? Anyway, each time I wind up with a boat full of fiberglass dust...

    I am trying to remove and replace the exhaust bellows on my 1986 Se Ray Seville -- 3.7 merc 170 with Alpha one outdrive. I can't seem to reach the screw for the clamp on the side nearest the transom (got the other one easily). Do I have to take the outdrive apart to get to the clamp or is...
