I have isolated the leak in my Lowe Condor to some leaking rivets along the center keel and after removing the floor realized that the rib is cracked. Does anyone have an idea of the rivet length I should order? Will I need to cut off the leaking ones to get a better idea? I will be replacing...

Thank you Johnny! That's what I was looking for. Yes, I have built the transom board and it's ready to be installed. I'll post more pics soon.

So I pulled the transom out as it was completely rotten and am now trying to bend the aluminum cap back in to place. Does anyone know of a good method to do so with minimum cracking? Apply heat maybe? I am taking it to the welder tomorrow night so I if it does crack it's not the end of the...

Just curious if anyone has ever pulled a motor off a boat for a transom repair and left the steering/linkages connected while on a engine hoist? I have never removed one before and just wondering if it's even possible? The motor is an 88 special evinrude. My other question is how hard is it...

There is no doubt in my mind the transom needs replaced but I don't really know if it's worth the effort/ time to do so on this boat. Does anyone know a price to have this done? I am sure there are a lot of variables but a ball park? It really looks like a PIA to me and I can't weld aluminum...

Yes that's the spot. Thanks for the advice on sealant I'll grab a tube of that.

Here are a few more pics of the transom and you should be able to see the gap where the aluminum from the splash well meets the transom. I created the problem by not wanting to mount my transducer to the boat so I mounted it to a piece of acrylic and c-clamped that to the transom. Anyway I'm...

Yes, I filled the boat and it holds water. Then I filled the livewells and plugged the drain on them and no water drains out in to the boat. I tested the boat on Sunday and in a half hour my feet were getting wet so it's a massive leak from somewhere. I'm thinking when planing out and coming...

Hello all- I tried to research how to remove the splash wells or maybe I don't need to. Long story short the boat is leaking a considerable amount of water and after re bucking a few rivets I believe it to be the transom and splash wells. Checked livewells and bilge and didn't discover any...
