We discovered today that my transom appears to be weak in the middle as when you push on the skeg the transom flexs in the middle where the pads of the motor push against it.
We are considering taking a piece of stainless steel both inside and out and bolting them together through the transom with silicon to waterproof the bolts.
My motor is a 40hp and the boat is a 15'. I can't afford to rebuild the entire transom.
I'd appreciate any feedback on this.
my boat is a 1963 I THINK a skiflite but I'm not sure about that.
