[QUOTE="MinnesotaBoy, post: 495810, member: 32715"] Here's a DUROBOAT transom repair I'm faced with soon. There are more holes in this boat to make it both heavenly and sink. Approach: 1. Sand entire area to provide smooth exterior surface, removing poorly painted existing surface. Us wire wheel on drill, as suggested by Weldorthemagnificent to ubber-clean areas around each hole. 2. Use 1/4" aluminum plating and drill through existing holes to secure 14x14" plate to reinforce transom's exterior while sparingly using 5200 around through-bolts and backing of washers. 3. Use JB Weld on the holes still visible and where poorly mounted transducer mount was removed. Sand repaired areas smooth. 4. Paint masked transom with Pettit "Blue Green" as Larry McPhail from DUROBOAT just suggested...although I think he means, "Jade Green" EZ Poxy.[ATTACH type="full"]113854[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
