I am new to boating (this is my first boat) and I discovered that the transom is rotted. It is a fiberglass boat and I do not know who made it but the PO told me that it is from the sixties and he didn't remember what make it was. I have read several threads on iboats about repairing the transom and thought that I was ready to get started today but when I went to remove the cap I found that it is not screwed or rivited on. I removed the rub rail and it is just screwed to the cap. I don't know where to go from here. It appears that it is just glued or something and I don't know if I have to cut it or what. In the one pic you can see that I was able to lift the end of the cap but that is all the further it would go. The other pic shows the under side of the outside of the cap. I would appreciate any help with this.
