I've got an 1989 17' Bass Tracker Deep V aluminum boat that i love. I noticed the tie down fastener (u-bolt) was loose and in removing it (through the not for fat arms exhaust hole), I discovered the transom is wet and rotted.
Can someone tell me the specifics on removing the alum cap on the transom? Not sure also if I also have to remove the corner plates to replace the wood? If so, can someone tell me how they are attached and how to disassemble/reassemble.
What I thought would be a simple tightening of a couple of nuts is turning into a big job.
Please advise or direct me to a link that covers this.
Thanks in advance,
