[QUOTE="Patsway, post: 352664, member: 13994"] Hello everyone if any of you have seen my posts you know I am a rookie at this. I have finally removed the old wood transom from the boat and I have made a new one out of (2) 3/4" pieces of exterior plywood. I treated with epoxy and sealed all the edges. I am now getting ready to install but noticed that when I removed all the rivets from the back I also removed the rivets for the knee braces. How should I attach these before installing the new wood? I do not have a rivet gun and was told I could use stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers with 5200 coating them. Does this sound ok? Does anyone know the right size length screw to install the knee braces? It looks like they could only be 1/2" long to go thru the hull and the braces themselves. Then I guess I would get 2" SS screws for the ones that go thru the wood itself being that the total width of the transom and wood is about 1 3/4" total? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to getting this part done so that I can finally move on with this project.
