    Do I need to purchase a hardener also? And what would the estimated curing time be if not?

    Can anyone advise what resin I need to use on the plywood transom. Resin or Epoxy Resin, I'm confused about the both of them. Is epoxy resin better than just regular resin?

    I agree, especially if your resin coating and fiberglassing the plywood. FWIW, I don't plan on keeping this boat for more than 3 years or less anyhow. But who knows, the way prices of everything have gone up I just may keep it longer. 🤪

    I agree thanks. I'm going with 2- 3/4 pieces of plywood. I may go with pressure treated also. Or should I use another type of plywood?

    Thanks everyone, Ill see how 3 pieces of 3/4" inch ply will work out. It should be around 2 and 1/4" total. I'll do a dry test and take measurements.

    What's the normal Carburetor Fuel PSI for an Alpha One Gen One 140hp Rochester 1985

    I'm currently running a Carbole Super 12S electric fuel pump @5-9 PSI, and I think it may be too much fuel pressure. It accelerates and runs fine, until I shut it off and seems to flood out. What is the normal fuel pressure for my Merc 140HP A1 Gen1? Again, I think I may have too much fuel...

    Gimbal Housing Studs for a Mercruiser Alpha 1 Gen 1. Need the specific part # or size for these.

    I just watched a video on the better thread lock for bolts, as I'm going to be installing them on the gimbal housing. 2 Studs broke off and I'm using a Heli-Coil to reinstall them. Looking to see what you recommend for a good thread lock. I came up with Vibra Tite VC3 from this video. Your...

    Thanks, Can I possibly get away with 3", the more the merrier I suppose?. I would use 4 - 3/4 pieces of marine plywood. I think it may be slightly less than 3".

    The wood that's not rotted by the transom looks like it's almost 2" thick. Question, what is the normal thickness of a transom on the avg. I have heard it's 1" and 1/2.

    I just bought the bolts on eBay, and a Heli Coil set on Amazon. I have one almost drilled out. The rest should be easy. Thanks everyone. 👍

    I removed the gimbal housing today. I noticed there seems to be a thin layer of fiberglass on the inside of the transom right after the gelcoat.

    I'm redoing my transom, and I just removed the gimbal housing after a lot of sweat, cheater bars and penetration oil 🤨. Anyhow 2 studs broke off of the gimball housing. Does anyone know the part #. I need to order two. And I'm going to have to tap out the two broken bolts out hopefully. Thanks

    Are the lag screws the front lag screws or the rear ones? I don't understand what you meant by lag screws. Did you mean the motor mount bolts?
