Re: Replacement of Transom
The transom is a laminated section of wood adhered to the hull with fiberglass and resin plastic.<br /><br />To do it right the entire top half of the boat (or a large section thereof) is removed by locating and drilling out all the rivets, then lifted away.<br /><br />Then with carefull operation of powertool cutter/grinder of your choice, the wood is cut away from the fiberglass body of the boat.<br /><br />When all is cleared of the old wood then a new piece of layered plywood is again fiberglassed in place. <br /><br />Then with some paint and reassembly it's good to go.<br /><br />Some boats if having transom issues might also have floor, frame, or stringer wood problems too.
