Hi guys,been member here for years,but not been around long time.
Hope someone has solution better than my idea.
On the transom,the wood core sandwiched my perhaps 1/16" thick aluminum dry rotted ages ago,you can tell because the 15hp Evinrude mount screws never get tight enough.
In 07 I reinforced it with a inside layer full contact 3/8" plywwod.it got me by.
now I`m seeing way to much flex in the transom under power,and fear the metal will break.
I`m thinking rather than rebuilding total transom,what if I replace the inside plywood with .25" thick aluminum plate fell contact?
Looks like I`d barely have room for new 3/8" plywood and still fit the motor clamp on it.I`d go again full length stainless bolts,and rubber seals,or RTV that`s worked all these years.
Will this work?
Appreciate any thoughts on this.
