I was reading a this and another thread regarding I/O transom thickness. I see all the data in the thread that says min 2” and max 2 1/4”. My question is where is that data actually? I searched and searched and cannot find anything. I have the factory Volvo-Penta service manual for my boat and can’t even find it in there.
I understand that if the transom is too thin, the input shaft could bottom out in the coupler. What if it’s too thick? Will the shaft not go in far enough?
I’m replacing the transom in my 97 Glastron GS 205, Volvo Penta 5.7 GS PLKD and right now I’m at 1 3/4”. I’m trying to decide whether to build up with glass or add another 1/4” doubler with glass in the center.
Thank you you for any help that can be offered.
