    Is there more wood

    Replacing transom on my 1990 2651 Bayliner. My restoration is in another post. Managed to rip out down to the outer layer. Question is…..there seems to be no more wood on either side of the center transom. Just fiberglass. Pics below . I’m pointing to the area in question. Can someone confirm...

    Another question…. the outer fiberglass wrapped in to the inner transom wood. Im thinking that this should be cut flush. I intend to resin the new transom keyhole … seems difficult to try and fit the new transom with this in the way. Am I on he right track here?

    Update…. Let the demolition continue! After the initial layer of fiberglass over the transom was removed the wood underneath did appear suspect. Todays work was to get through every layer to the fiberglass outer skin…First as to remove the first layer of wood, the second layer of FG and the...

    In addition the key hole has fiberglass/ gelcoat wrapped into it. I’ve never seen this on any rebuilds of original Bayliners. Has anyone come across this? i assume it should be cut away when removing the transom wood.

    Ted, correct the structure portion is up next. once engine was removed it was time to tear into the transom. Found some interesting things. Yes rot was there and it looks like there was no tabbing of the actual back transom plate. see lower left and lower right of transom. there’s a gap!

    Ill be digging in to it shortly. And I’ll keep the post going. Actually your post prompted me to start this post😀. The fore hatch was on the boat. The plexiglass was cracked and the bedding was shot. Sooooo all I needed to do was was remove broken plexi. No easy task. the glazing / bedding was...

    Gotcha… I found an old pic from this forum. This is from a 20ft capri but the layout of the transom is similar to mine. This is similar to what I’m thinking needs to be done. Thoughts?

    1990 Bayliner 2651 resto

    Now that the engine, Y pipe and inner transom ring have been removed it gave me full access to the transom. Taking core samples seems that the bottom third is suspect. To be expected on a boat of her age. I anticipated this would be a candidate for replacing. Looking at other transom...

    I have now removed the inner transom ring along with the balance of the outdrive. Not sure if the inner ring is good or not( see pic). Some corrosion is noticeable on the bottom. Is this part still serviceable???

    The dashboard needed attention. All gauges where bench tested. Light bulbs replaced. I used headlight lens cleaner to clear up the cloudy lenses. sanded down the outer plastic and gave them 5/6 coates of paint. Light sanding between each coat. All other toggle switches got the same paint As well...
