    wood on Transom

    Is it hard to remove? I want to sand the wood down and possibly add poly to it to shine it up, any suggestions, Maybe leave it in place and just sand it down in the boat? Its not in bad shape, just needs to be cleaned up, it is riveted into place

    How do you get the back bearing out?? When I pulled my hub the front one came out no problem but the back one will not come out the other end??? Does that rubber seal have something to do with it not coming out?
