Greetings Ladies and Gents,
Im in the midst of a transom repair on my 96 Rinker Bowrider; 3.0 w/Alpha. The original wood was very rotten, from what I could tell by the good condition wood it was 2 sheets of 5/8” and a 1/2” fiberglass hull thickness. I’m going back in with 2 sheets of 3/4” ABX marine grade ply which will be 1/4” thicker than original, and will finally meet the Mercruiser spec of a 2” minimum transom thickness. I foresee an issue with the forward motor mount since I have essentially moved the inner transom plate and therefore motor forward. Does anyone on here have experience with this or can lead me to the right info? Thank!
