[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 386026, member: 9169"] Looks like those are caused by the stress the motor puts on the transom. My transom cap welds are both cracking on the fore portion of the caps where they are welded to the gunnel. My buddy welded them up last year, but they are just coming back. I'm going to take some 1x1 aluminum square tube and run it from the top corners of my transom riser to right in front of my transom caps. Weld the tube in place creating some reinforcement and keep my transom from flexing as much with the stress of the motor. Should do the trick. [/QUOTE]
