I have a 2003, Crestliner 1850 Fish Hawk DC. Im not the original owner. The wood needs to be replaced on the Transom. Any help would be appreciated.
If his transom "sleeve" is anything like mine, it will be hard to paint it. Maybe use a 4" roller and a brush on a stick to prime and paint. They sell a roller handle called a long John for getting behind toilets that is long enough to get down the channel to prime and paint. Not a bad idea since you have the corrosion going on. Mine didn't have any corrosion at all so I left it but hind sight tells me I should have finished it since it was apart anyway.I forgot to mention, see that white on the old wood, that translates into corrosion on the inner transom skin. Be sure to clean it all off there, skin the pitting with MT or JB, prime and paint before installing the new wood transom.
