[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 239075, member: 7544"] Got the grinder out and removed the anchor mate (factory installed with rivets) and the transom knee brace. Wire brushed the transom real well and discovered a lot of pitting (some bad enough to put pin holes in the transom). Picked up my foam and got it all cut and test fitted. Now I'm going to be at the mercy of the welder, waiting to get my transom welded up. The transom has about 2 dozen bolt and screw holes as well as the several pitting holes. It's also cracked at the top on both sides where it's welded to the gussets. What a mess. :( [img]https://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc204/OzarkOutlaw/1540%20Fisher%20Marine/4f24218a.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
