So OK its time to replace my transom.
I'm interested in ideas here guys:big_smile:
Also prices. I ain't a rich guy.
I need 1 1/4 inch wood for the transom. I guess 3/4 and 1/2 inch CDX would work OK ?
So how much epoxy do I need for a 5 square foot piece of plywood?
Do I glass it?
What glue do I use to put the 2 pieces together?
Should I just use stainless hardware to reassemble or would it be better to rivet it again?
My brother was an air frame mechanic in service so riveting would probably not be any problem.
Would it be beneficial to cap the area that the motor clamps to with aluminum plate?
Where is the best place to buy the epoxy?
I've probably got some more questions but this will be a start.
have a good one
