[QUOTE="Mojo^, post: 199644, member: 5456"] Sooooooo, how did this turn-out? I'm currently working with a very similar condition on a Grumman 1446 Jon and am trying to avoid replacing the aluminum on the transom. Today I scrubbed off all the corrosion with Barkeeper's Friend and Scotch-Brite, then CLR and then another scrubbing with white vinegar. The metal is now nice and shiny. Was thinking of filling the holes with Marine-Tex. The wood on the inside of the transom is being replaced with two layers of 3/4 ply bonded with PL and coated with epoxy. I am going to add a single layer of epoxy coated 3/4 ply to the outside installed with 3M 3200 and then bolt it all together with aluminum bolts and put a good coat of steelflex on the transom before and after all parts are installed.
