[QUOTE="mikezohsix, post: 107238, member: 2036"] ... and I wanted to add... As far as the corrosion goes, the motor sits on stringers like a normal boat, the area around the motor is pristine, as is the rest of the hull. The plywood in the transom in all places I can get to is absolutely solid, and there is no flex when pushing on the outdrive. Not sure if/how I can dis-assy the after deck, and remove the compartments seen in the engine pictures, with the foam extruding out. If I get the aluminum deck and side compartments off, I figure I'll either pull the foam out in a chunk, or, slice it to make room to get to the area. I'm hoping the tansom isn't going to be an issue, and that I can clean around the corrosion from the inside, alodine the bare aluminum, and then coat it with some flexible adhesive/sealer. Then I can fit some aluminum from the outside, and glue it on for water tightness, and to seal from the outside. I have some white on one side aluminum sheet used for fixing trailer bodies that should have the right protection, and blend in well. If anyone has had one of these apart, or has any ideas, please let me know. mike [/QUOTE]
