[QUOTE="Jeffrey, post: 297136, member: 10686"] I am not sure what I am looking at, but I think my transom has an inner and outer layer of aluminum with some kind of material sandwiched in between. At least I think the inner layer is aluminum. I tried to scratch it with a utility knife and it was pretty hard. Anyway, there is a small leak in my transom. I peeled away a thick layer of paint on the outside. Hated to do that because it was a nice looking camo paint job. I have a ways to go, but my gut tells me I should try to take my transom pretty much down to the metal so I can get a better look at it. I think maybe I should just leave the inside alone, but want some advice. It looks like there have been some attempts through the years to fix leaks by putting various types of sealants on it. There is also a gap in a large rivet. What should I do about this transom? [/QUOTE]
