[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 265752, member: 6694"] I used West systems 105 epoxy for my transom rebuild. 3 coats was plenty. Just make sure to keep filling the board edges with epoxy as it really sinks in, especially make sure to completely fill any small voids. Drill the bolt hole slightly oversize and run the epoxy through them as well to seal them up good. Since you are going to paint over it, you shouldn't have to worry about UV affecting the epoxy. I put a couple of coats of UV inhibiting Spar Urethane on mine to protect the epoxy from breaking down over time. [/QUOTE]
