I've got an 1988 Sunbird. pulled the motor off for some work, and noticed alot of damage on the transom. The top edge where the top fiberglass meets the back of the transom has a wide seam that looks likeit has ben filled with bondo. Is it OK to pull out all the loose pieces and fill w/bondo again?<br /><br />On the metal outside aluminum boiler plate, the bottom 2 holes are all corodded (There was some kind of zinc nut on them, may have caused the damage?), and are now way too big. Are these available from marine supply stores, or do i need to go to a machine shop? <br /><br />I should note here that the motor is a 1988 88HP johnson. The lift cylinder is shot and I have to really pull on it to lift the motor.<br /><br />lastly, the edge that has the wide seam on the top of the transom has a plastic cover that screws over it. It is all cracked and broken. I'm guessing this would be a custom part, but is there anything available i can put there to protect the seam?<br /><br />Thanks!
