[QUOTE="Thundra, post: 274601, member: 8926"] That piece of painted white pine is another piece I replaced, the actual piece that is untreated/uncovered, is inside the top of the transom, encased by that rectangular piece of aluminum. I appreciate all the suggestions/comments and help. I just wonder, why is it that with all the wood, 2x4, 2x6, 2x8's I have laying around in my woodpile, that sit out all winter covered with snow, and are otherwise exposed to the elements 24/7/365, they don't warp or check or do anything but turn gray, but now that it is encased in aluminum, that I need to worry? Granted, the boat will be used in saltwater but the boat won't sit in the water all the time as the bottom is not painted, yet. I have to figure, the boat ran well with NO wood inside, in this case, is something better than nothing? [/QUOTE]
