[QUOTE="Mojo^, post: 225469, member: 5456"] I used two sheets of 3/4 exterior ply laid-up at 45 degree angles and bonded together with PL. I sealed the whole thing using epoxy resin from U.S. Composites ensuring that all voids and drain paths in the ply were filled. Fastener holes were piloted and then drilled oversized. The oversized holes in the ply were filled with a mixture of epoxy resin, cabosil and phenolic microballons. Once the transom was reinstalled, I drilled the fastener holes through the potting mixture in the holes and installed aluminum fasteners using 3M 5200. While it may be overkill, this transom core will likely outlive me. [/QUOTE]
