[QUOTE="mmf, post: 172872, member: 4379"] Just noticed in one of your first pictures that there were 2 plugged thru-transom fittings. Don't know whether these are plastic but I do know they will dry rot and bust off when you least expect it, and sink your boat fast! If they are unused, I would remove them and cut a piece of 3/16" flat aluminum that will cover both openings and attach with 4-6 stainless screws and nuts with marine epoxy as a sealer. I have done this many times on other boats I have restored and it works great. [/QUOTE]
