I need a corner cap for the transom of the aluminum boat I bought. One side is somewhat damaged and the other was made out of a peice of roadsign and a lot of JB weld. If anybody has one to sell or knows where I can find one please tell me.I have a lot of pictures and will post them as soon as HP will cooperate.

Re: Transom corner cap

I need the cap to replace one that should look like this. It doesn't have to be of an identical size or shape but just needs to get the job done on a little workboat.

Those caps tend to be "custom" if you will. As almost every alum boat has different geometry to it. So it will be hard to find one to match the other one you have. If at all possible it would be easiest to build two to match each other. Other wise I would try a local large dealer as they may have junker boats layin around for such cases. A couple bucks into the "lunch fund" is what our shop would do in such case.

Was planning to do this as this one is very pitted from exposure to rusty steel screws. Just thought posting these pics would give a general size and shape to someone who might know where they sell such a thing, either new or used. If I can't find one for a reasonable price we have the ability to mill one out of a block of aluminum. That is just a big pain in the butt so I was hoping I could find one.
