Re: Before and after Transom repair pics....
Well what I did - keep in mind I'm a first timer.
Found out my new boat has rot. befor pic lower right hand corner.
Is the first thing I did when I got home with her, Ripped a chunk of transom off with my hand.
So next It all comes apart motor out- tools come out of the tool box.
I cut, grinded, pulled, tore, beat, cursed, and grinded some more.
I then used a 1 1/4 chisal and hammer to scrape and pry the boat hull clean of the old transom wood.
As to remove every last bit of rot. A 4" grinder with 60 grit sandpaper flapps grinded out the bad glass..
(I did build a grind tent over boat during major demo, as to protect my neghbers from the toxic glass dust.
I tryed to save as mutch old stuff as I could for patterns and such.
Also took many measurements, drew up a plan of what was their and took many pics.
I need to mention- I got all the Info needed for this build from I boats
Gota go to work at my real job I will do a right up on parts and instalation in a few.....
