[QUOTE="airshot, post: 500402, member: 1183"] Agree with transom being suspect...why not just replace the wood...no gaps this time...make it solid with various thicknesses built up, screwed and glued and sealed !! Where you have sloppy fits along the gunwale, just add some more rivets...or even some small SS screws and nuts. I have used them many times over the years where rivets were not availiable. Take a magnet and be sure you get real SS fasteners !! If the gaps are wide enough, squeeze some sealant up there to help take up space and dampen the vibration. Do not use silicone! I never use silicone on a boat ! Once vibration starts it can travel, called harmonics and can be a pain, but usually fixable !! [/QUOTE]
