[QUOTE="moberg12, post: 154657, member: 3819"] Got the transom pulled apart today. Decided I could tackle that myself after a few searches here and on iboats. The mix of rusted fasteners made it harder than it should have been but overall no major problems. The PO that shortened the transom thought it would be a good idea to make 3 right angle cuts on each side(which were completely different side to side), this I can only imagine will let water in no mater how much I try to seal them. The new plan is to round the transom back up to the original height, this will allow me to use one continuous piece of aluminum to cap the transom when it's done. Plan is to cut the sides of the cap where it dips down so I can bend it down and follow the lines of the new transom, which will leave me with no seams. Pics of progress tomorrow!! [/QUOTE]
