[QUOTE="cak7700, post: 302047, member: 10304"] We're not done painting the inside of the boat, we spent most of our time on the outside when I had it off the trailer. I put another thick coat of spar urethane in the holes in the transom and decided to leave it like that. Right now I'm more concerned about this split in the aluminum in the transom(see picture). It was there when I got the boat and the PO had a piece of aluminum folded over part of the split on the inside. Should I leave it alone or try to repair? I'm open to all suggestions. It seems like I've read on here somewhere that outboards can slide off aluminum easier than wood if not bolted in. Is that really a problem or should it be ok if tight enough? I dont plan on bolting in my motor until I use it a few times and there are plenty of stumps where I plan on going. Thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
