    Bit of an update: Bought another transom assembly and this time with the sender. It came with the converter module but the anode was also damaged in transit. Was not boxed very well. Received the replacement anode and the wires were cut. I know I'm getting a very good deal but some things...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    What a lot of work, I'm beat. Cut out the one side and tapper cut the top of the stringer off. Under the boxed section there was a bit of damp plywood. After digging all the foam out that was the only thing damp, everything else is glass coated. Will do some more digging tomorrow.

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Spent some hours doing some demolition and I have found the top of the rot. It is a bit below my last cut. The black seen is adhesive because I cannot get the wood off with a chisel, going to need to sand it off. Dug into both sides and the rot goes back in behind the stringers. As before...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Well took a couple pics but didn't get around to doing anything today. Needed to get in the dump truck and go get a few loads of rock while the weather is good. If I have the whole thing will come pout but I'm pretty sure it would not go back in, in one piece. Looking at the hatch opening and...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Thanks guys, just had another idea and this way I can get at the wood behind the stringers. In the pic below I marked the stringers and a box to each side of it. What do you think if I cut the outside over this area to get at the wood? Pros Cons??

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Thought the starboard side would be the worst but turns out it's the port is. Dug all the way until was hitting some solid wood. Port side is at the stringer and it had a little bit of water in the bottom. There is a gap between the bottom glass and wood so guess that's why I found a bit of...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Well it worst then I was thinking, and fhhuber was pretty close with his assumptions in my anode thread. Appears so far the moisture has not gone above the second transom bolt hole from the bottom. The right side of the pic (port side of transom) looks to have the most damage down low around...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Well started with a couple anode holes needing a bit of work and now it appears I'll need to rebuild part of the bottom of the transom. Pulling the transom assembly off noticed all of the bolts had rust but the bottom stud on the starboard side was showing more then the others. When cleaning...

    Need a better way to seal up additional anodes

    Started cleaning the silicone off the anode, and I forgot all about it had an O-ring on the back. The silicone and O-ring was doing their job keeping water out, all moisture getting in was from inside the bilge

    Need a better way to seal up additional anodes

    Well with all the ideas I dug into reading further into the issue. Found some very good articles at BoatUS on sealants. With this being in the bilge there is a good possibility that what ever I use will come in contact with solvents, gas, antifreeze and other chemicals. The sealant used...

    Need a better way to seal up additional anodes

    Had trouble years ago with corrosion on my drive so I installed two additional anodes. The anodes came in a Merc kit and since then corrosion shows very little signs. When I installed, drilled 3/8 hole, passed the wires through, filled with silicone and secured with screws. I am seeing...

    Check Your bilge pump hose

    During the process of cleaning my bilge while the engine is out I grab the hose and if felt hard. Gave it a slight pull and it cracked like almost an egg. Just prior to pulling the engine and during winterization I had the hose in and the pump was working fine. All other hoses in the engine...

    HP Transom Assembly sender

    Well there is good and bad news. The good is I received a new HP transom assembly (0L915000), the bad is I missed one digit in the part number and got one without trim senders. According to what I've found is it appears to have only one sender which is mounted to the side of the bell housing...
