[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 109167, member: 863"] Forgot to mention, when stripping the paint, I knew something was up right away with the transom support pieces, it looked like there was red rust under the paint. I brought a magnet out, and as I expected, it stuck to them, meaning they are some sort of steel instead of aluminum. Am I right in thinking that they need to go, or does the "nothing but aluminum" deal only apply to bolts and stuff? Either way I think I'm going to take the pieces off, cut the wood down to the same height as the transom, and eventually put an aluminum transom cap on it. Here's an upside down pic of the outside transom support piece, with a magnet stuck on it. EDIT: We won't be going to meet my extended family like planned today since my wife got sick. Not the way I'd plan it, but I will be able to work on the boat today. More to come later this evening. [/QUOTE]
