    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    thanks i remember seeing this while searching and thought it would be the same as carbon bond because it didnt have any fibers in it and might be more prone to cracking. Idk. I'm concerned with seacast still too.

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    If i had to do it over again. I would def make sure the fiberglass was not so dry and dusty and that I would have taken the time to make sure the transom had a flat form to hold its shape. 3/4 ply with 2x4 support and then screwed to the transom would have worked much better. than my halfassed...

    Jack Plate question regarding short shaft vs. long (standard) shaft

    depends on what the boat is for imo. I'm still learning about mounting and engine placement. If it was me and this is just a fising boat not trying to race to any spots. Id just go with a 20" and trim up a little. It will get you to your trolling spot. I'd also cover it. if you're set on a...

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    third and final pour didnt go as well. the bag of fiberglass was much more dusty and clumpy. it seemed to thicken up the seacast even at 80% . I'm guessing they use a tumbler to mix the recycled/shredded fiberglass and I got the bottom of the barrel in the bag. All in all good so far.

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    after the cost of 6 buckets of seacast i'm going to be limited to my mounts. I think I'm going to go with a smaller one and use an old diving board as my swim deck or attempt to make my own (first time welding aluminum eek) edit: pour temps got to about 103f then started to drop off. Used 1/8...

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    I started the first pour yesterday. I think it will go well. Does anyone have any suggestions for an extended motor mount?

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    Ok i have a spot open that seemed dry but im sure the stringers may be gone and the glass is holding it. What happens if I leave it? The motor mounts are solid it seems as though maybe someone has been in there before. The stringers I replaced stopped where I stopped.

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    Yeah ive replaced majority of the stringers on the inside. I didnt remove the back half where the engine mounted as it seemed solid (the fiberglass and foam) and to save money. I was tired already with grinding and I couldnt afford to put the layers of glass back that it had. Its just going to...

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    just got off the phone with the makers of seacast. Sabine is an amazing women. Seacast is going to be the way to go for me I think. Its going to be a bit more work but much less work than doing the plywood correctly and will outlast the boat. So much to do..... lol why can't boats be...

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    k yeah my issue would be not having the ability to pour from the top with seacast. I saw that it was thick. I may be able to set up a vibrator or something.

    Liquid Transom hmmmm?

    I'm looking to replace my transom on a tiny houseboat and switch from inboard to outboard. Its 1.5" thick and for me I think liquid transom would be easiest. What are your thoughts and recommendations? I will be using an outside mount to mount the engine. One reason for this thread is that I...
