Due to the nature of wood to compress, do the 8 nuts holding the transom assembly though the transom to the gimble housing need to be checked and retightened? If so, it looks like I'll be lucky to get an end wrench on those nuts, much less a torque wrench. I would have to tighten most of them by feel. 22.5 ft. lbs. is not a lot. I found a flat washer on the top right stud that is loose enough to be moved by hand. This transom is 2" of rosin coated plywood inside of an aluminum transom. I had this transom replaced spring a year ago. The shop laminated 4 pieces of 1/2" plywood to build the 2" piece. I found the loose washer while trying to clean the bilge to get a 4" crack where the transom meets the bottom repaired. Thanks, Cliff
