Transom issue

[EchoNovember]

Yeah don't laminate with 5200. Used either Titebond III or just use the epoxy you're sealing with.

Picked up a gallon of Titebond III.

I am pretty sure you wont find many with an alert connector

Yeah, that's the other thing I discovered. So it looks like I'll just throw in a float switch that turns on the pump and a light.

Not sure if you are making fun of yourself or upset with a young whippersnapper thinking he knows better when he doesn't...

It's ALL on ME!!! I should pay more attention and NOT be so quick on the draw with Advice. For a tin Boat ALL thats required for a transom is TiteBond III and Epoxy to seal it all. Sorry for the mix up.:facepalm:

Lol. You had me scared there for a moment... I've already exceeded my budget for this, and we still need to build a motor mount and hoist frame.

Uploaded the pictures of today's progress to my restoration thread. I want to keep things centralized and neat.

WOG gets a break... he's helped so many of us that it is only natural that some of the projects get confused! He's forgotten more about boat repair than most of us have learned!

Oh yeah, I'm not upset, I just didn't know how to take his message. I was a bit worried that I needed to go back to West Marine and spend MORE money on epoxy items...

I thought that was what owning a BOAT was all about: Break Out Another Thousand!!!!!

Don't remind me... Lol. Picked up the lumber today for the motor stand and the frame we're going to hang the hoist from so we can lift the engine off the boat. It weighs about 300#, so not doing it without a lift.

Did an engine compression test. 150 psi across all four cylinders, give or take 1 psi. No compression issues at all. Woohoo!
