[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 519609, member: 15636"] FWIW I just replaced the transom wood in a sweet FRP hull and needed to replace the tin trim cap as I went with a thicker layup transom. I just ordered a 5' long length of 1/8" thick wall 6061 channel, with a looooong 1-3/4" tall 'leg' on each side, to allow me to securely bolt it to the new transom layup (SS bolts properly insulated from the tin of course ...), for only $40. IMHO most trim caps eventually weep water into the wood from the rivets or aluminum trim nails driven vertically straight down into the underlying wood. Now that piece is certainly [U]overkill[/U] for most trim cap applications, LOL, but that's how I roll. Well hey, the wood was free and I had copious amounts of epoxy & glass mat/tape on hand.
