I have a 1982 Pursuit Tiara 20 foot 150 mercury outboard. I have water in the transom. It looks like it is coming from the self draining cockpit drainholes. The drainholes are just below water level. Are they supposed to be that low? Poked the wood with a sharp all and the point went in about an 1/8 inch with force. I don't think it is rotted but just wet. Had some stress cracks in the fiberglass. Not sure if it is from old age or a weak transom. How do you know when it is dry enough to seal it up? Also, how much weight does it add when the transom is wet? What is the best way to dry it out without drilling holes all over? In the battery compartment the previous owner drilled holes in the floor to run cables on one side. The foam is very wet. What is the best way to dry it out?
