[QUOTE="Thundra, post: 274388, member: 8926"] I didn't seal it at all. I have a 6-HP Mercury outboard that I have for the boat. I had been running the boat with that transom-channel empty and while the motor clamp made 2 round indents because the aluminum channel was empty, now with a piece of wood on the inside, it should be a lot better. I have to figure that if I have to take the transom channel out again once the wood starts to or goes bad, I'll just replace it again. I hope it does rot out and makes it easy to get out as I had cut the replacement piece of wood so close that I had to spend a while banging the wood into the channel. I had to cut off the last 6" and stick it in the other end as I could not get that last few inches in it was so tight. [/QUOTE]
