[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 388459, member: 15636"] [color=#FF0000][size=5]NEW Transom Piece Fit:[/size][/color] New piece 95-99% fitted, just need to do a little more 'tin knocking' to make sure she fits all corners and profiles. Starcraft told me to clean & prep the surfaces well, then put 3M vinyl foam tape on the hull, wetted with Plio-Bond waterproof rubber cement. I already use this for dressing saltwater flyfishing shooting head connections and it works great. Now I just need to get a BIG bottle of it. Plus I will also dip the rivet w/ 3M 5200 before bucking. I will also prep the mating surfaces w/ epoxy-based acid etching zinc chromate ... as I want this to be the LAST transom this boat ever needs. [b]For Johnny:[/b] BUDGET? Oh heck, I blew that a LONG time ago ... I'm only in 'knee deep', but I dove in, LOL! AREA: I first annealed the good 1/2" + on either side of my line, but that wasn't enough. Where metal needs to shrink (my case for outside corners) or expand, the ENTIRE surface being worked needs to be annealed. I had to do a few spots a few times. [/QUOTE]
