[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 398979, member: 13599"] have you ever seen cars that have been sprayed with primer only and the brown rust is coming right through the primer like a cancer ? primer is not a paint or protection agent . . . it is to prime the metal surface to provide compatible adhesion for the top coat. The top coat itself is what protects the metal - not the primer. Primer alone will only slow the inevitable corrosion that WILL form behind the wood. It may take months or years, depending on the exposure to the elements. Salt water will only compound the problem. Maybe I am wrong, but, I honestly think you should remove the transom board and apply a good quality top coat. Just because nobody will see it is a short cut that "may" (or may not) come back to bite you. Totally your call. https://www.tinboats.net/primer-and-paint-basics/ [/QUOTE]
