    The transom seems solid with wet areas that can dry out !!!!!. It’s not carry much load either. I would imagine , drying out, chipping off damaged areas inside, adding extra grp layers could have sufficed

    What is the material you used for the transom?
    I replace transom on a 16’ Glasstron with 60HP outboard many years ago. Had no idea what I was doing and absolutely no experience.
    I used 3/4 marine grade plywood then had a 1/2” or less aluminum plate cut that overlapped the original part and the new part. Fiberglassed wood in and screwed on aluminum plate. Worked great, owner after me ran for many years.
    Now I see there is a new product that you pour in from top after you dig out rotted wood.

    If you think it’s starting to rot? Cut it out or you’ll be doing it again in 2yrs. Tie your fiberglass in really really good. If you have a vacuum pump? Use it to pull your resin into voids by drilling a small hole where you want the resin to flow to.

    you'll want to "bed" coosa board into a mix of resin and fumed silica or something else (chopped glass can work but silica is great to stuff to use) to make up a slurry of light weight material to act as a grout like filler for all the gaps.

    Guys, that was well done. Simple inexpensive fix when doing it yourselves. Having more than my share of fiberglass work on Vette and boats, I can say, you guys nailed this repair. Thought the thickened material was a bit think but should work. Ratio of glass to resin is critical for strength. Your fiberglass overlay should be cloth not chopped mat. Final layers, and you need several, can tie this together. Looks good. Have fun and stay safe.
    PS: If you have minor wood rot in stringers, the resin product you referenced, is amazing. Once resin sets, the stringers will feel like iron.

    • @Derf1313
      @Derf1313 5 месяцев назад +2

      Said everything I was gonna comment on. I rarely use mat, much prefer the cloth for strength. Plus it disappears reasonably well when I'm working with it over wood, that want to show. (Then the varnish, for sunscreen, lol. Lots of coats on brightwork...)

    A few years ago we were fixing a boat that had a reupholster drill through the floor. Guess where it leaked. We visited a wholesaler and he gave us tips on what to do. We followed the person's instructions and voilà. Of course the prep work took most of the time. We took the outboard motor off. We did it before we got too old. The boat works well. Everything went according to plan. The fishing was worth it all. I used to tease the friend's grandson with, "I won’t go fishing with you Jake, but I'll go chasin' women." ( . . . apologies to Stuart Hamblen) . . . Jacob was about 10 years old back then. . . . he would rather be fishin' then, . . . now I'm not so sure. 😊

    The other thing that made me smile is that you test fit and set up your clamps and wood blocks.
    Third, No Air Bubbles. You rolled out the glass really good between layers. Bubbles are weakness, and you have none.
