[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 339246, member: 1523"] Looks more like a poor design than poor weld work. If it fatigue cracked before and fatigue cracked again, you'll have the same problem unless you figure out what is causing the flexing at that point and eliminate it. Have someone rock your engine up and down while locked in reverse to see what is moving, then get your welder to eliminate that. You might need some larger corner caps so the transom flex is transmitted to the gunnels vs. the floor. 4 strokes are heavy and not running with a transom saver isn't a good idea. [/QUOTE]
