So life has been crazy and I finally got back to working on the transom. I got the small inner board and bigger outside board off. The aluminum looks pretty good with very little pitting. Maybe because they put rubber between the wood and aluminum. I'll take some pictures tomorrow cuz its kinda...

Thanks everyone. Yep it was a two wire and we just hooked it up to a battery charger and then plug it in. Went both ways so I gave the guy 100 bucks. Now to decide if I'm going to buy the harness or wire it myself.

So I'm looking at buying a used CMC. The guy said that it just has a couple wires sticking out of it and he's not sure if it works. He was given it. I was wondering if I could just hotwire it off of a 12V car battery to check if it works. I'm not sure if it would mess something up without the...

Ya I will be replacing all the wood on the transom, but after looking at your build thread our transoms are just a little different. I don't believe I will have to remove any rivets. This wood is not factory and all the rivets look the same so I doubt they removed any the last time. I will post...

Ya, that's what I was thinking, and since this is obviously not homemade, I'm curious as to what it is.

Thanks, I was thinking it was a Lone star due to the sliding walk through windshield (someone cut the top rail and and lost the window) and the style of splash well. I will be be peeling off both pieces of wood off here soon. It looks like inside board is correct since there's a slot for it...

Hello all, I've been reading for a while and finally decided to register. So I just bought my own first aluminum boat. I have an old tri hull currently and decided it was time for something that could handle the bigger water. So I ended up with this It is titled as a 1964. Not sure of the make...
