Replacing a Rotted Transom with Coosa Board - Boat Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 янв 2016
- We replace a rotted transom on on a 1989 Pursuit 2650 with rigid no-rot Coosa Board! Coosa panels are used throughout the marine industry as an alternative to wood and other core materials on transoms, decks and stringers. Watch as we dive deep into the material properties and bring this late 80's boat up modern standards.

Finally somebody sees what I have been thinking. That is to overlap your run of mat over good material on the sides and bottom to reinforce it. This would certainly give it strength. I see lots of people talking strength but, they use the wrong mat material and this is the first person I have seen that actually overlapped it.
Any time you have two big surface that may have some voids it’s best to think of it like tile. Use thickened epoxy and use a smooth with a step trowel. You want to make the lines vertical so the lines don’t sag and trap air. Push the Coosa board in contact at the bottom first. You’re working the epoxy squeeze/air from bottom up. It’s ok to use boards from the inside to push along the bottom and sides but not in the middle or top. You don’t want to bow out the transom. You will need long reach clamps for the middle.
That was very nicely done and clearly incredibly strong 💪
definetly great video. thanks for posting the video.
Awesome explanation video , thank you
Great video, very informative!!
John, been watching AND LISTENING to you for years. This is another great video you have made, thanks for sharing! See you next time. And I subbed, high 5s.
Nice job for sure
Awesome job looks super strong I'm thinking of doing my hydra sport bass boat with coosa boared I looked in to pourable transom products but the weight what concerns me also going to use opoxy on it transom had some flex when I got it I tightened all the motor bolts up I believe it's not done right wood isn't roton I checked it no flex now but its got air voids in it be a winter project or fall lol
That's way better than the original.. really good repair.
Your wrong, THE CSM HAS A FILLER THAT IS DISSOLVED BY POLYESTER RESIN NOT EPOXY! In this application polyester resin is better. It dissolves the CSM FILLER AND MAKES A BETTER BOND THAN EPOXY. But really epoxy is fine too
nice job!
Awesome 👍 I love it
I just stumbled across this very neat and well produced video, and I am massively impressed with the Coosa Board Product which I had not heard of before. However I notice there are no bleed holes in the board like standard structural PVC and also we would normally vacuum a job like this particularly where the access is this good. I'm Not knocking your work for a second but can you be sure you have achieved a void free bond and the best structural integrity?
What was the thicken mixture made up of?
What size engine would a transom like this be able to handle?
will that work good on aluminum boats? 14' I was researching the best wood to replace the transom wood and ran across this video.
Any vids on transom corner repair? A prop damaged the port corner of my Whaler and made a big hole
Is the paste spread on the coosa board the epoxy?
I would send my business to him. Definitely seems to know what he is doing.
I like that its lighter and doesn’t rot but i heard that screw retention is not as good as wood and also am wondering about the strength of it vs wood
The way l would do it. Great job and smart move going to the West epoxy!
What about attaching the stringers to the transom, is that an important structural step?
To fix the stringers of this project boat, Taco Marine covers that on Part 9: tacomarineprojectboat.com/2016/04/07/stringers-bulkheads-and-fuel-tanks-part-9-taco-marine-project-boat-on-ship-shape-tv/
The Bob Villa of boating hahaha
nice
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 40 YRS AND YOU SHOULD THICKEN THE EPOXY TO FILL TINY VOIDS AND IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ORIGINAL TRANSOM SKIN
You guys are right on T exelent video west systems can't. Be beat that's all oil ever use lot longer role out time compared to polleyester way stronger great video
How much to do a 1987 citation thunder craft? The part that the motor sits on?
So what is the formula for your "Thickened Epoxy"? It looks more like paint than the Peanut Butter I normally see.
Wow, this has been up for months without any comments from know it alls who think it's a sin to use anything but plywood for boat repairs. Apparently some people need job security so much that they insist on repeating the same mistakes over and over.
Hey Boat Outfitters I have a maycraft 1820 I’m looking to remove my rear boxes close the transom and add a bracket. Do you guys have any videos or information available on removing the rear boxes?
Hey Tyler, sorry for the delayed response! While we don't have any videos of that, I would recommend giving us a call so we can help talk you through the process! You can contact us at (866)-633-7961 :)
Heck yes sir West is awesome..10x strong stuff.
Done over 30+ bow Thrusters and West is my freind...and nutral is my friend,
And corrosion x is my friend,
And when you back wrap the end of the elec. Tape on the fish tape you are my freind.
Meriachi muzak...not so much
I remember the days of wood boats and all the issues with worrying about an open seem out in the canyons fishing. Sure an old Chris Craft type of skiff, runabout look great but with all the new ways Not to use Wood ya have to be crazy to use wood in any piece of a boat. I like to fish, boat, dive, ski, explore, ect. not be married to a boatyard . I have 2 boats 1- 28' with doubles and 1- cheaper Angler C.C. neither have any wood in them Period. Sandwiching wood with glass always will rot over time. good job n video.
depends on if the wood lasted 25 years and your 50 years old who cares.
Never fold fiberglass matting allways roll it no seems
Where the heck is the charity that gives a boat away?
I need a boat
what was all that noise!! tjat was annoying.
Powerboats like that are crap...scrap it!
