[QUOTE="bigdaddydb, post: 439411, member: 22608"] Ok so here is the progress...was out of town and really busy at work. Got the motor stand built and got the console, side panels and the rest of the garbage out. Got the motor, steering, and throttle controls off and into the garage on the stand. Upon further inspection and some ridiculously thick paint removal, the transom cap was all mangled, one of the corner caps had a crack that was hidden by the paint, and the transom was kind of rotted. The transom had been done before and obviously the motor was not original so there was a half assed job done of fabricating a splash well to accommodate the new motor and there was a "second transom" installed. You can see in the pics below that they had a piece of plate aluminum that was glued to the original transom and then drilled thru. The corner caps were riveted on and sandwiched between the old and "new" aluminum. The old cap was bent over the top of the wood board and was cracked bent and broken...this was hidden by the "new" motor mount. Only option to get the transom board (which was rotted) was to cut off the old cap. Finally have the board out. Here are the pics: [/QUOTE]
