[QUOTE="old_school, post: 195636, member: 4665"] thanks for the comments - I am big on posting what I find in hopes it helps others ... 1st off, you were right, there was LOTS of moisture (salt water) and LOTS of rotten wood in the transom - 2/3 rotten - and lots of small holes and SUPER THIN aluminum on the transom Luckily I have a friend who is very experienced in making surfboards, kiteboards (both wood and foam) and has repaired transoms before - he found a local place that sold this "liquid transom repair" - I opened up the transom, repeatedly dug out rotten wood and dried it over the course of 8 days (with 2 huge fans) and then we poured in this stuff that looked like a plastic gray cement - wow, worked great - just put masking tape over any holes an when the tape came off the holes were filled flat Here are a couple pics for everyone Now I must post something in the outboard motor section! lol It is always something!
